New York Yankees shortstop, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, received an extension with the Yanks despite a poor 2022 season. After being traded from Minnesota Twins, Isiah played the entire first half of the 2022 season only to get benched in the postseason. Hence, fans expected the Yankees to trade or release him this off-season. However, to the entire New York’s disappointment, the Yankees decided to continue with Isiah.
Isiah Kiner Falefa gets caught up in unwanted criticism every time and again. Isiah is in the news again, as if the retention with the Yankees was not enough. A Twitter user posted a tweet revealing a secret about Isiah’s dating life. Moreover, the news has spread like wildfire, and Isiah is on the receiving end once again.
Twitter User Claims Isiah Kiner-Falefa Is Dating A Hollywood Actress
Isiah Kiner-Falefa is struggling to find a place in the starting roster for the Yankees. After a poor run in 2022, Isiah will have to fight out during spring training to get the starting shortstop spot. Meanwhile, amid all the professional woes, someone on Twitter posted a bizarre rumor related to Isiah’s dating life. A user named “Gabe” wrote on his Twitter handle that Isiah Kiner-Falefa is dating notable Hollywood actress Margot Robbie.

However, the fans are in splits as the rumors seem way far from true. Margot tied the knot with her long-time boyfriend in 2016 and has lived happily ever after. Hence, the fans, understandably, find it hard to believe that Isiah Kiner-Falefa could be having an affair with Margot. Meanwhile, the fans did not fail to troll Isiah over the rumor. While reacting to the tweet, a fan wrote that Isiah should not be called a celebrity. Where another user claimed he saw the two together having dinner in Brooklyn.
It’s true I saw them dining together in Brooklyn the other day

Will Isiah Find A Place In The Starting Roster?
Keeping all the rumors aside, Isiah Kiner-Falefa has a much bigger task waiting for him. Even after being the Yankees’ starting shortstop in the 2022 MLB season, Isiah will have to fight for the spot in the upcoming season. In 2022, the shortstop hit 4 homers and 48 RBIs with an average of .261. Moreover, the 27-year-old was benched in the postseason owing to poor performance.
On the other hand, this season, Isiah will face fierce competition as Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe is standing right at the door. Oswald and Volpe are both the Yankees’ top shortstop prospects. While Oswald’s name has emerged as the most probable starting shortstop for the Yankees in 2023, the club’s manager, Aaron Boone, confirmed all three candidates would have an equal opportunity to fight out in the spring training. For now, Isiah’s odds look much smaller compared to the competition.
