Rest-of-Season Projections
Moving to front-office role
Kinsler announced his retirement Friday and will move into a front-office role with the Padres, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 37-year-old hangs up his cleats after spending 14 seasons in the majors, appearing for the Rangers, Tigers, Angels, Red Sox and Padres. He'll finish his career with 257 homers, eighth among players whose primary position was second base, while Kinsler winds up agonizingly close to the 2,000-hit milestone with 1,999 hits and a .269/.337/.440 slash line. He won a World Series with the Red Sox in 2018, adding that accomplishment to his four All-Star appearances and two Gold Gloves. The Padres have Jurickson Profar lined up to take over at second base.

After eight straight seasons posting double-digit totals in both home runs and steals, Kinsler's production cratered in his first year with San Diego. He began the campaign as the Padres' leadoff hitter but got off to a brutal start and soon lost his spot at the top of the order. Kinsler rebounded in June but stumbled again in July, then suffered a neck injury in mid-August that ended his season. At the heart of his struggles were a .200 xBA and 19.2 K% that were his worst marks in the Statcast era. Though he did pop nine home runs, Kinsler's 1.1 Brls/PA and 83.6 mph average exit velocity both ranked near the bottom of the league. Even his presence as a stolen-base threat was absent, as he succeeded on only two of six steal attempts. The veteran has another year left on his contract, but San Diego is unlikely to have much use for a player in his late-thirties with clearly diminished skills.
