The San Francisco Giants are interested in acquiring infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa from the Pittsburgh Pirates as the MLB trade deadline nears. Kiner-Falefa has been a consistent hitter for the Pirates this season, batting .274 with a .658 OPS over 87 games. Although the Giants have shown interest, his fit with the team may be questioned, especially after other players returned from injury. Kiner-Falefa has a career batting average of .263 and has experience playing multiple positions, presenting a versatile option for the Giants' roster.
The Yankees have had a known interest in Kiner-Falefa. The Post-Gazette recently learned that the Giants have also inquired about the Pirates' shortstop, although the extent of their interest is unknown.
This season, he's hitting .274/.317/.339 with 12 doubles, two triples, and a home run in 315 plate appearances. A versatile defender, he's played all over the diamond.
