Either that or they move Cabrera to the four hole and everyone pitches around him even more.

Here I was thinking the Tigers would sneak in and grab Cano, giving them a 3-4-5 of Cano, Cabrera, and Fielder.
What a relief. Unless the Tigers plan to bring in...Napoli? Who knows. |

There has to be more to this. Doesn't make a lot of sense as it stands now.

I worded that statement badly.
What I think is that this is a good baseball move. That bad contract is gone and they are getting a good player in return that helps them be good for the future, longer. While the Royals are signing catchers from the Mets Minor league organization.

They have to pay Kinsler 62M from 2014 (age 32) to 2017 (age 35). And the word on the street is that they have to send monies to Texas. I realize a four year poison pill is not exactly a seven year poison pill, but Kinsler isn't Prince by a long shot. And prince is only 29. So basically they traded Prince from 29 - 35 (168M or 24M/year) for Kinsler from 32 - 35 for (62M 15.4M/year) AND they have to send money?

Agreed, I am very happy about this trade. Who knows what'll happen, but I think Texas got the better end of the deal.
The stupid Tigers may have just sold low on Prince and bought high on Kinsler.

Unless there is more to this trade, Texas bent over Detroit. IMO

Tigers have Scherzer on the block as well. Stars could be aligning for the Royals.

Offensive and defensive war combined...
2009: IK=6.4; PF=5.2 2010: IK=4.4; PF=0.6 2011: IK=7.3; PF=3.5 2012: IK=2.4; PF=3.9 2013: IK=5.1; PF=0.6 Fielder obviously has more value if he's only a DH (as he'll likely be in Texas) because he's essentially a -2 WAR player defensively every year otherwise. Still, I don't see this as a bad trade for Detroit. |

Completely arbitrary and I don't take any stock in this, but Kinsler's line at Comerica:
.200/.298/.329 (162 AB)

I hereby declare Texas to be the winner of this fine trade. Congratulations, and thank you Texas for weakening the vile Tigers in our division.
