Both players have considerable time left on long-term deals. Kinsler is owed $62 million total through 2017, while Fielder’s contract runs through 2020, he is still owed $168 million.

Interesting trade. Gonna miss Kinsler. Got to see the guy come up through the minor leagues as he played for my city's AAA team.

Well, Detroit's infield defense just got a lot better. I guess Miggy goes back to 1B where his questionable defense isn't as exposed as it is at 3B.

Royals have called a 4:00pm ct presser to make a "major baseball-related announcement."
Beltran?

According to a beat writer, we can rule out a Shields extension as the major announcement.

Jeff Passan says that the announcement will be the signing of Jason Vargas.

Fielder is absolutely horrible on defense....and I'm being kind when I say that.

So with the Vargas signing, I'm now 0 for 5 in the 2014 free agent prediction contest on MLBtraderumors.com

They aren't wrong. I realize on base is what most people look at now but when you watch 140 or so of their games per season you get what they're saying. Sometimes they need him to come up and do more than take four pitches. In trying to draw all these walks he passes on way too many good pitches. Yes they are, they're very wrong. He shouldn't swing at bad pitches just because. We have Adam Dunn, I understand the problem.

Full trade is Freese and Fernando Salas for Peter Bourjos and Randal Girchuck. Girchuck was the 24th pick in 2009 and was taken just before Trout. He's not a bad second piece.

I like that side of the deal for the Cards, a lot.

Yeah, STL comes out on top here barring a Freese resurgance. Grichuck tips the balance over to our side.

Yeah, that's a really nice move for the Cards. Bourjos is a speed demon and Girchuk has a lot of upside.
