Isiah Kiner-Falefa, after signing a one-year, $6 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, reflected on his controversial play in Game 7 of the World Series, where he took an unusually short lead from third base and was forced out at home on a ground ball. He acknowledged he should have taken a bigger lead, citing organizational policy for his decision. Kiner-Falefa, who batted .262 last season across two teams, regrets not having the chance to discuss the pivotal moment with reporters. Boston also placed Tanner Houck on the 60-day injured list to create a roster spot.
