Rosenthal continued.
Any delay on Kinsler likely would be due to his no-trade to #Angels. Again, my understanding is deal will happen. Points to be negotiated, perhaps, but he is not going to stay with #Tigers.

Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reported some information.
Just talked to Billy Eppler about the Kinsler move. If he has another move close, he wasn’t saying. #Angels

Fletcher reported more information.
Just an educated guess, but I feel like the #Angels aren’t going to make any moves that require them to give up any top 15-type prospects or any draft picks. Don’t want to lose anything in quest to rebuild farm system. Kinsler basically only cost money. (more)
