Kinsler anticipating lots of trade rumors this offseason

Reading his name in trade rumors has become commonplace for Detroit Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler, and he doesn't suspect that will change this offseason.

"There were a lot of rumors last winter. There were a lot of rumors during the season. There's going to be a lot of rumors again," Kinsler told Jason Beck of MLB.com.

With a full rebuild going on in the Motor City, it's likely Tigers general manager Al Avila shops Kinsler heavily as he attempts to maximize a return for the four-time All-Star who's entering the final season of his contract.

Kinsler is coming off a down year offensively in which he slashed .236/.313/.412 in 139 games, but he still managed to hit 22 homers and 25 doubles, while also finishing in the top three among Gold Glove nominees at second base.

The Arizona Diamondbacks, Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Angels, Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays, and potentially the Boston Red Sox could all be looking to acquire a second baseman this winter. Kinsler, however, does possess a 10-team no-trade list which could limit his market.
