Last night, the Boston Red Sox made a move.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa agreed to a $6 million deal with the Boston Red Sox. He will therefore remain in the American League East and join a rival of the Yankees and Blue Jays.

What Red Sox fans have criticized is the fact that Boston already has several players similar to IKF. We talked about this recently when discussing the depth of the club.

Kiner-Falefa is a defensive player who will give Alex Cora the tools to protect a lead, but not to build one.

As a result, at this point, the signing is not exactly seen as a personnel move that really moves the Red Sox in the right direction. It doesn't really fill a need.

However, according to Pete Abraham, who covers the club's activities there, it's important to understand that IKF is not the final piece of the puzzle. The Red Sox still intend to add another piece.

Recently, the rumor has been that the Red Sox intend to add a right-handed hitter who can be a bench player and play defense in the outfield.

Can this be done? We'll see.

We agree that to compete with the Yankees, Blue Jays, Rays, and Orioles in the East (without Alex Bregman), the Red Sox will need to have a fairly complete club… and one that is powerful enough at the plate.

To be continued, then.
