Ian Kinsler and Prince Fielder in a 2010 ad

File this one under the category “Life imitates art.”

It came as news to most of us this week that the Texas Rangers were trading Ian Kinsler for Detroit Tigers slugger Prince Fielder. Few could have predicted the swap.

But looking back, ESPN seems prescient.

In an odd coincidence, a 2010 ad for ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball featured Kinsler and Fielder casually sitting on a couch and musing about  possible trades involving themselves and San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum.
