@Bill_Shea19: CBS Sports Jon Heyman is reporting that the Detroit #Tigers have agreed to trade Prince Fielder to the Texas Rangers for 2B Ian Kinsler.

As first reported by WTFDetroit's Vinny Marlin.

[smilie=reporter.gi:

Haven't read anything else about this, so I assume that the infield is

1B Victor
2B Kinsler
SS Iglesias
3B Miggy

?

Castellanos probably starts to get worked in. Cabs, Victor split 1st and DH. Tigs probably got spooked by Miggy's injury which was a concern of the position move to begin with. Regardless he didn't have more than 1-2 years of even BAD third base left in almost any scenario.

Wow, $30M cash.

If that's it that's huge for Tigers. I would have guessed 60. What's Fielder going to be worth at 35? That's the real question. The Mo Vaughn, Cecil, Greg Vaughn, Albert belle, etc comps for that body type don't sound great. He'll outplay his Detroit stats in that park though.

What's the most cash ever sent in a deal?

I would have asked for $100 mil.

Nice!!!

Glad 'we' moved him. I liked the guy but he just didn't fuckin produce in the playoffs. I know nothing about Kinsler.

Miggy will move to first, is my guess. JHONNY TO THIRD! or did he already sign with someone? Mets or some shit like that?

I'd trade Costelanos for a proven 3rd baseman. I did not like what I saw from him hitting the curve last year. SSS though.

Does this free up enuf dough to sign Sherzie? Or do we trade Sherzie for a 3rd baseman and 1 outfielder?

DTTNTAATNT-B?

So I'm guessing Omar is gone then too. Miggy has to move to first - keep him as injury free as possible. I'm hoping they keep Jhonny and move him to 3rd...
