Free-agent infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is set to join his fifth team in four seasons after agreeing to a deal with the Boston Red Sox, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
The deal is for one year, ESPN reported, with no financial terms revealed.
Kiner-Falefa, 30, batted .262 with two home runs and 40 RBIs in 138 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays last season. He batted just .162 (6-for-37) in 15 postseason games for the Blue Jays, including .063 (1-for-16) in six World Series games.
The versatile Honolulu native played second base exclusively during Toronto's postseason run, but he started 93 games at short, 30 at third and only one at second during the regular season.
Over eight major league seasons, he is a career .262 hitter with 36 home runs and 286 RBIs in 918 games. He played his first four seasons with the Texas Rangers after he was their fourth-round draft pick in 2013. Kiner-Falefa then moved on to the New York Yankees (2022-23) before flipping back and forth between the Pirates (2024-25) and Blue Jays (2024-25).
