Earlier today Ken Rosenthal reported that free agent second baseman Ian Kinsler would be taking his talents to San Diego. This is the second free agent the Red Sox have lost to another organization this week. The first being fireball pitcher Joe Kelly packing up and heading to Hollywood.
Now I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t always say the nicest things about Kinsler while he was in Boston, but I think it’s a mistake letting him go. With absolutely zero ideas on whether or not Dustin Pedroia is actually healthy, losing Ian is a blow.
