Detroit sends 30 million in cash. Essentially paying Prince 138 million for 7 years in addition to dropping Kinsler's 64 million off of their payroll. Seems like a very fair trade IMO. Rangers are in win now mode and wouldnt have been able to get a bat of Prince's caliber via free agency. I dont think the Tigers really needed Prince all that much as Miggy can pretty much carry an offense by himself when he is right. What they needed they can now do in get some fielders that can field for that great pitching staff.
