The Angels landed Kinsler in exchange for two minor league players. The move comes just days after the Angels signed Japanese standout pitcher and hitter Shohei Ohtani.

Los Angeles also added reliever Jim Johnson in a trade with the Atlanta Braves last month.

Kinsler, 35, will be a free agent at the end of the 2018 season. A four-time All Star, he has spent the last four seasons with Detroit.
