Chad Jennings of the Atheltic also reported the news.
Ian Kinsler to the Red Sox first reported by @Ken_Rosenthal. Kinsler’s offensive numbers are down, but still a higher WAR this season than every Sox position player except Betts, Benintendi, Martinez and Bogaerts. And he has an .859 OPS since May 28.

Rosenthal contiuned with more information.
Kinsler still owed about $3.7M of $11M salary. Per source, deal required approval of commissioner’s office, meaning #RedSox are getting at least $1M from #Angels. Obvious luxury-tax considerations for Boston.
