Get StartedSomeone interested in Kinsler? Sounds like they're running him through waivers. I wouldn't be surprised if some other team tries to snag him.
On another note his money isn't so bad.. I could see teams wanting him as well.
I wonder why they didn't do it when JV was going through? Why the wait?

I was listening to MLB radio last week and they said a team can put up to 6 or 7 players (I can't remember which they said) at a time. Maybe the Tigers already had their full # of players without Kinsler???
This is old but FWIW
Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler is not interested waiving his no-trade protection unless a (hypothetical) acquiring team reaches a new contract with him, his agent Jay Franklin tells Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Kinsler is one of several veteran Tigers players who has come up in trade chatter this winter.
Anything is possible, but the demand for an extension would certainly gum up any trade talks between Detroit and any of the rivals who are on Kinsler?s list. He is already 34 years of age, so it isn?t as if he has mid-prime years to sell, and part of his appeal is the relatively limited commitment ($11MM in 2017 and a $10MM option for 2018) that comes with Kinsler?s contract.
Thanks.. Do we keep him at 10m?
yes...because you pay him $5M to leave. Exercise the option and he could be a trade piece at the deadline. (or there is a miracle and they are actually good next year![]()
Kinsler, Iggy, and Miggy will all likely be gone in the off season IMO. Once Miggy is elsewhere I will no longer have any desire to follow this team and will be moving onto bigger than better things.

I am thinking they will get rid of Kinsler and Iggy.
Miggy will look around at the players on the team all AAAA and want to get out.
Tigers will have to eat some of his salary as well like they did with JV say the amount over 20 Million and a team or two might go for it with him as their DH.
It could very well be the red sox with DD....
Miggy has a ring, but from his time with the Marlins. He could be traded, but what ballclub would take on his contract, even if the Tigers were to eat $20M per? The Angels got burned with both Headcase Hamilton and Pooholes, although they were able to return the former to the Rangers, who themselves were had by no-neck Prince Fielder. Unless Cabrerais +.300 and +30 homers by the trade deadline next season, I don't see what contender would trade for him..esp in the NL with no DH.
