The Boston Red Sox are reportedly set to bolster their infield with the signing of Isiah Kiner-Falefa, a versatile veteran, just ahead of spring training. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Red Sox have signed Kiner-Falefa to a one-year contract, with the former Yankee expected to log reps all across Boston's infield. Kiner-Falefa, a 30-year-old plus defender, earned a Gold Glove during the 2020 season with Texas. However, he's more of a wild card at the plate, batting .262 with two home runs and 40 RBI this past season. While the Red Sox have a need for an infielder at both second and third base, especially after losing out on Alex Bregman and Bo Bichette in free agency, Kiner-Falefa's defensive skills could offer some value. But the Red Sox are still in desperate need for more pop at the plate, especially if they intend on rolling with him at second and sticking Marcelo Mayer at third base. The Red Sox also have Romy Gonzalez, David Hamilton, and Nick Sogard as viable infield options, especially when it comes to sharing reps at second with Kiner-Falefa. This move could spark debate among fans and experts, as some may question Kiner-Falefa's offensive capabilities, while others may see him as a valuable defensive asset. What do you think?
