IKF is headed to Pittsburgh.
Kiner-Falefa has had a bounce-back season with the Jays after signing with the franchise during the offseason. He's slashing .292/.338/.420 with seven home runs and 33 RBI through 82 games, and he's logged a career-high 3.1 WAR.
Heading to Toronto in the deal is outfield prospect Charles McAdoo. The 22-year-old is currently enjoying a tremendous season at the plate. Across two minor-league levels, McAdoo—currently at Double-A—has logged a .932 OPS with 14 home runs and 63 RBI in 87 games. He was drafted by Pittsburgh in the 13th round in 2023 and MLB Pipeline ranks him as the organization's No. 29 overall prospect.Pittsburgh sits in third in the NL Central but remain just two games out of a Wild Card spot. The addition of Kiner-Falefa will help them better their chances at reaching the postseason, while Toronto appears to be leaning toward a rebuild.Karl Rasmussen is a staff writer for the Breaking and Trending News team for Sports Illustrated.
