The Red Sox continue to add to its roster ahead of the beginning of Spring Training, it just might not be the flashy move fans are looking for.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a one-year contract.
Kiner-Falefa has been a bit of a journeyman during his eight year career in the big leagues, primarily slotting in at shortstop. The righty can fill in throughout the infield, and with Trevor Story most likely being the returning shortstop, Kiner-Falefa will probably fit in at third and second.
In 2025, Kiner-Falefa played 138 games, hitting .262 and only mustering two home runs. He’s clearly not a batter that’s going to produce a whole lot of offense for Boston.
The former Blue Jay has always been a solid defender, and with how Craig Breslow seems to be building his 2026 squad, he could be honing in on defense and pitching to win the Red Sox most of their games.
