DETROIT – The day after the Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers completed a blockbuster trade sending Prince Fielder to Texas, an ESPN commercial from 2010 suggests they might have seen it coming.
In the commercial for Sunday Night Baseball, Fielder and Ian Kinsler are seen sitting together discussing trades for their respective fantasy baseball teams. Kinsler proposes trading himself to Fielder for Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum. Prince declines the offer.
