With a week left before Opening Day, Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s role with the Yankees is as cloudy as ever.
“Whatever happens, happens,” Kiner-Falefa said Wednesday of how he’s approaching the final days of spring training. “I just want to win. That’s all I’m worried about right now. I am ready for whatever I need to do.”
That includes working out as a catcher for the first time in four years.
The last time he wore catcher’s equipment was 2019, a season in which he started 31 games behind the plate for the Rangers.
But on Wednesday, he was trying on his newly arrived tools of ignorance at his locker at Steinbrenner Field, where he planned to do his first work behind the plate as a Yankee.
