Acquired by Yankees Kiner-Falefa, Josh Donaldson and Ben Rortvedt were traded from the Twins to the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela.
Impact Kiner-Falefa was dealt from the Rangers to the Twins on Saturday, and he'll be on the move once again a day later. He'll offer an upgrade at shortstop for the Yankees, while Gleyber Torres should start at the keystone. Kiner-Falefa appeared in 158 games with Texas last year and slashed .271/.312/.357 with eight homers, 74 runs, 53 RBI and 20 stolen bases.

Traded to Twins Kiner-Falefa and right-hander Ronny Henriquez were traded from the Rangers to the Twins in exchange for catcher Mitch Garver on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kiner-Falefa was believed to be in line to serve as the Rangers' primary third baseman to begin the 2022 campaign, but he's likely to serve as Minnesota's primary shortstop after Andrelton Simmons departed via free agency during the offseason. The 26-year-old appeared in 158 games last year and hit .271 with eight homers, 74 runs, 53 RBI and 20 stolen bases.

Confirmed as primary third baseman The Rangers' third base job is Kiner-Falefa's to lose according to manager Chris Woodward, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Kiner-Falefa always seemed to be the clear favorite following Josh Jung's shoulder surgery, a procedure which will keep the prospect out for the majority if not the entirety of the upcoming season, but it's always reassuring to have that confirmed by the manager himself. The Rangers do have alternatives like Yonny Hernandez and Andy Ibanez available if Kiner-Falefa slips up, but it looks as though he can safely be drafted as an everyday player, albeit a somewhat unexciting one outside of his decent speed.

Safe at third base for now Kiner-Falefa is lined up to remain at third base for longer than expected after Josh Jung was diagnosed with a left labral strain Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News repo...
Impact Kiner-Falefa had been viewed as mainly a placeholder until Jung was ready to push for his major-league debut, something which could in theory have happened as early as Opening Day. While Jung's exact return timeline isn't clear, it now looks as though Kiner-Falefa should be safe in the job for at least the early part of the season before likely transitioning into a utility infielder role. He shouldn't be expected to hit for much power at all, but he did still 20 bases last season, so he'll offer a decent amount of speed for as long as he can hold onto regular playing time.
