"I hope they go 0-162," Kinsler told ESPN The Magazine. "I got friends, and I love my friends, but I hope they lose their ass."

Ron Washington said Kinsler's comments wouldn't impact the team and that he was always someone who "spoke his mind."

Kinsler vents about his frustrations with the Rangers, citing issues with the team and general manager Jon Daniels. His disdain for Daniels is clear, as he calls him a "sleazeball."
