I always wondered what would happen if we kept him. Would we still be competitive? Would Kinsler's production keep up even tho Texas turned to shit for him at the end?

I think about this too. Kinsler's post-Rangers years were more productive than Odor so they picked the wrong 2B to go with in hindsight. The question then is what could they have gotten for Odor that would have been an upgrade over Moreland or Leonys?

I don't think it was a necessarily a bad trade. Nobody could have known Fielder would suffer a career ending injury. If he had stayed healthy, I think it would have been an even trade for both teams.

Interesting to me to see all the comments on this. Kins is still my favorite Ranger ever and I still hate that trade. Not just because they got rid of Kinsler, but because to me that was the end of the championship era. They traded a part of the core away.
