The face of the New York Yankees, Manager Aaron Boone, had a revelation. In a recent conversation with Jomboy, Boone contemplated a proposal about the Yankees’ Shortstop, Third Baseman, and Outfielder. This gave birth to an amazing yet questionable possibility. 

Given the dire situation of the Yankees, the positions of players are key. With that, it is impossible to miss that this particular transformed Pinstripe has played all positions, missing only the first and catcher. Boone’s one decision could actually create history. 

A Proposal Worth Considering For Aaron Boone

Talkin’ Yanks posted a clip of Aaron Boone expressing his thoughts to Jomboy on Twitter on Tuesday. While in deep conversation Boone was faced with the likelihood of having Isiah Kiner-Falefa who has played all but two positions in this season. The Yankees’ skipper in response to that said, “I don’t hate that”. There was, however, a clause. Having IFK take all nine positions in a single game might not be the best thing to do. The evidence was what the Detroit Tigers did with Austin Allen Romine when he played for him. Boone strongly felt about that as well. He expressed, “Let’s hope not, I don’t want to have that happen”. 

Isaiah Kiner-Falefa, who is on a $6,000,000 annual payroll, has played center field, left field, right field, 3rd base 2nd base, and shortstop. In addition to that, he has pitched as well. The only two positions missing for him are catcher and 1st base. And if he were to take these positions, he would join hands with the handful who have made history. But the real question is, will Boone allow him to?

With the season almost over, especially for the Bronx Bombers, there are two options. One, experiment with IKF to see what works. Two, position him where he is strongest. Either way, given his transformational history, Falefa would not disappoint.

Is the Transformed IFK Already a Part of History?

Taking a look back at 2022, when Isiah Kiner-Falefa was brutally criticized for his poor outings, it is impossible to ignore what a favorite he has become now. Despite a gradual start to the season, Falefa has redefined redemption by showing up with 100% effort, a positive attitude, and impressive outings. Coming out of a dark space of fan hatred is nearly impossible. But IFK shattered all notions. Not well enough to help the Yanks win, but well enough to emerge out of the bad books of fans.

Receiving appreciation from fans and teammates alike, this new possibility might be optimistic. But whether the possibility of him being in all 9 positions is good or not is still in question. However, one thing is clear, no matter which way Boone swings, the 28-year-old will continue winning hearts.
