MLB Roundup 12/15: Ian Kinsler signs with Padres

It was a fairly quiet day around the league on Friday, but one of the 2018 Red Sox players did get signed. That would be Ian Kinsler, one of the very few departing free agents who had no chance at coming back to Boston. Instead, he’ll head back to Southern California after signing a two-year deal with the Padres. This was actually a little surprising. Like I said, there was no way he was going to come back to Boston. With Dustin Pedroia hopefully being able to play at second base, they didn’t need another veteran like Kinsler.
