Former Blue Jays infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa likely to be traded by the Pirates
The deadline is a little more than a month away and according to reports, the Pirates are already receiving calls regarding Kiner-Falefa who they are prepared to trade for the right offer.
Kiner-Falefa is having an incredible season as of right now with a .299 batting average, one homerun, 14 RBIs and a .720 OPS in 184 at bats for the Pirates this year.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported Sunday morning that the Pirates were already receiving trade interest in infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The 30-year-old utility man is currently enjoying a career year at the plate, batting .299 with one home run, nine doubles, 14 RBIs, nine stolen bases, a .720 OPS and a 1.4 WAR. - Connon
The Pirates are ready to trade Kiner-Falefa since he is set to become a free agent at the end of the season and since he is now 30 years old, it looks like they do not plan on bringing him back so whoever acquires him would be trading for a rental.
Kiner-Falefa is set to hit free agency this winter, though, so whoever wants to trade for him would only be getting a rental. -Connon
Kiner-Falefa would be a great rental for a team making to look a big playoff push and that is in need of some quality infielders but the Blue Jays are not one of them as they are currently stacked in the infield.
It will be interesting to see where Kiner-Falefa ends up but it is clear that the Pirates will end up moving him over the next few weeks.
