    moving Kinsler makes no sense, because his production is only good because he plays 2B.

    If he moved to 1B or OF, his hitting wouldn't be an asset.

    They should've used Profar as leverage to get Andrus to take a more reasonable deal.

    This hurts Profar as well, since his position is SS. Moving him makes him less valuable and likely makes him a lesser defensive player.

    My thinking exactly. Kinsler is a good hitting 2b, but not 1b or OF.

    The fact that he plays 2b is most of his value.

    Might be in Texas's best interest to deal Profar for pitching.

    Exactly, which is why this is about moving Profar for a player like Giancarlo Stanton or David Price

    its better than signing 30 year olds to 8-9 year deals. Nonetheless guy is a decent player still young and room to improve I think the Rangers did the right thing by locking him up.

    David Price? Would the Rays seriously part ways with the second best lefty in baseball who is entering his prime?

    they'd lose him to FA. They're very likely not going to come up with the money he's worth in the open market.
