Tigers trade Prince Fielder for Ian Kinsler

[m0nkey]

**** fielder,

We got pujols!

[Inside Pitch]

If its straight up, Detroit should say no

 

Shedding 100 mil in salary commitments -- great deal for Detroit.

I wrote on here a little awhile back that prince had a down year. Someone said he was going through a bad divorce.

If that was the case, he could be a nice rebound in texas. I still don't get why the tigers would do that though? Kinsler isn't getting better, and he's not cheap. I'd think they would want to keep him and mcab together and go for a cheaper option (daniel murphys name keeps coming up)

Several reasons why the Tiggers do this:

 

A) Free up money for Scherzer.

2) Move Miggy back to first, less wear & tear.

c) Bring Castellanos back to his original position, third base, where he's a decent defender.

Zero loyalty to Fielder, unless he asked to be moved.

[Stradling]

Angels will answer back with a Zach Borenstein for Trevor Cahill deal.

[bloodbrother]

Wow, that happened quickly. Fielder is gonna rake in Texas, though I like this a lot for Detroit.

[CanadianHalo]

Your up Arte!

[Scott34]

Pujols for Cishek!

[Stradling]

Ok this board has been quiet for 5 minutes, I am just looking for survivors.....

[SoWhat]

Can't wait to see Trumbo traded for Daniel Hudson and Tony Sipp.

[tdawg87]

Trumbo, Kendrick and Bourjos for Kinsler and Fister.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Some of the same people who look at Fielder's off year (his only one) and think "decline" are looking at Pujols' steady decline over the last four years, thinking "bounceback".

 

Angelswin to logic: "I defy you!"

 

Kind of what I thought reading some of the posts. 

 

Seems like a good trade for both teams.  Naturally I hope Fielder sucks in Texas but I think he's going to rake and age wise he's still got some prime years left.

Over/ under 3 days for Arte's panic move....

[nando714]

Trumbo, Kendrick and Bourjos for Kinsler and Fister.

Sarcasm right? Id rather lose with our current 3 guys

[jshep]

Still an opportunity to trade for Vernon Wells again!

[jshep]

Sounds like there is some money changing hands, although don't know how much.

 

Not surprising, considering that Fielder contract probably has a fair amount more dead money in it than Kinsler's.

Great i just thought about all the walk offs Prince will hit off of us in Texas this coming season.. i say 3

[sneaky_flute]

Pending the commissioner's approval, A LOT of cash is involved

[Mark68]

That's probably a good over/under line, but just so there are no ties, I say set the line at 2.5.

Kohn alone is probably good for 2 or 3.

Fielder kills the Angels. And the Astros.

 

So maybe we should, you know, get some pitching.

Let's find some lefty pitching to, you know, negate Fielder's inevitable walk-offs.

Cano it is.

This deal has no effect on the Angels.  Our pitching will determine success or failure, regardless of who is traded to where.  Bottom line, Oakland continues to kick everyone's ass next year.

We need to steal their super secret weapon Bartolo Colon.
