Why would Detroit want this?

Why would Detroit want this?

First base can be filled, they don't have a second baseman, and frees up money to sign Scherzer. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I'm Detroit.

Why would Detroit want this?

move miggy back to first
get rid of a LONG, horrible contract for a shorter, horrible contract
get rid of a literal black hole that choked two years straight in the playoffs

the tigers need a LF with power. hmmmmm:

I can't believe Detroit is giving up on Fielder already. I honestly thought that Andrus would be the one leaving Texas this off-season, but I guess they wanna stick with the younger guy. Interesting deal all around.

I don't really like Kinsler as a player tho... injury prone, overpaid, and overrated.

Either of them can DH, ya know.

Deal is done, regardless.

it was a reactionary signing because Vmart was hurt. he overpaid and im quite frankly amazed DD found a way to get rid of that fat b*stard. 214, yes you read that right, 214 million (7 years left i think).texas thank you

Fielder, grand opening/grand closing

 

[Captain Crunch]

Why would Texas do this? Sure Fielder is more productive, but that contract is such an albatross.

because he'll be hitting 50 homers in that park for the next 7 years, earning each and every penny of that 24 million a year. especially in the post season

lol but their people on here like the trade so thats good for them. tigers fans like it to so everybody wins
