After the Pittsburgh Pirates placed him on waivers at the end of August, utility man Isiah Kiner-Falefa is finishing out his two-contract where it began, as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. For his troubles, he may even get a trip to the World Series out of it.
The Blue Jays, who had traded Kiner-Falefa to the Pirates at last year's deadline, brought their old friend back for their stretch run and playoff push – and he has stepped up as a key postseason contributor, particularly during the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners.
