Ian Kinsler said he’s not surprised Nicholas Castellanos and Shane Greene are emerging as leaders for the rebuilding Detroit Tigers this season.

Kinsler, who played for the Tigers from 2014-17 before being traded for prospects in the offseason, now plays for the Los Angeles Angels, who open a four-game series at Comerica Park on Monday.

“They both are obviously super competitive,” Kinsler said of Castellanos and Greene.
