One of the best to ever put on a Texas Rangers uniform is back with the organization. The Rangers announced on Monday that the team has hired Ian Kinsler as a...
Kinsler was drafted by the Rangers, made his MLB debut with the team and then spent his first eight seasons in Arlington. He earned three of his four All-Star Game appearances with the Rangers and helped the club make its only two World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011.
In eight seasons with the Rangers, Kinsler had a .273 batting average and a .349 on base percentage. He also hit 156 of his 257 career home runs with the team. Kinsler’s best season with the Rangers came in 2011, when he hit .255 with 31 home runs and helped the Rangers make their second-straight trip to the World Series. He finished 11th in MVP voting that season.
Kinsler is also one of two second baseman in history to have multiple seasons with 30 home runs and 30 steals. He accomplished that feat in 2009 and 2011. After eight seasons with the Rangers, Kinsler was traded to the Detroit Tigers in a deal for Prince Fielder and an extra $30 million. Kinsler had one All-Star season with the Tigers and hit 78 home runs in four years before he was traded to the Los Angeles Angeles. He also played single seasons with the Boston Red Sox and the San Diego Padres. His last MLB appearance came in 2019 at the age of 37.
