The Deal

Kiner-Falefa, 29, can play shortstop, second base, third base, and the outfield. He's a high-contact, low-strikeout hitter who fits a bench or super-utility role. The Red Sox value flexibility; IKF provides that and a reliable glove at multiple positions.

AthX Impact

Kiner-Falefa's value on AthX is tied to playing time. If he earns regular at-bats—whether at one position or in a utility role—his fantasy output and share price could rise. Watch how the Red Sox deploy him in spring training.
