I remember that. I believe it was vs the Giants. Thought it was pretty cool. He jumped on the plate and they all fell down, almost like bowling pins.

The Marlins aren't interested in Prince Fielder in part because they feel his large contract would prevent the team from making other moves, writes MLB.com's Joe Frisaro as part of a reader mailbag. To wit, signing Fielder could make it hard for Miami to sign Mike Stanton to a multiyear extension.

makes sense. Stanton > Fielder.

But they tried their darnedest to sign Pujols and CJ Wilson. Wouln't those moves have made it harder to sign Stanton too? Or is it just because Fielder is fat and naturally any contract he signs "leaves no room" for other players?

Same old Marlins.

I heard he lost a lot of weight this offseason.

Same old Jokersgoon.

No problem, young one. Your optimism gives me faith in some people.

Stay optimistic through the year!

Looks like it's Prince to the Nationals for 8 years.

 

EDIT: Not confirmed yet, but it's looking that will get it done.

 

EDIT2: Disregard. Fake.

This thread belongs with the Pujol's thread.. in the depths of hell!

fielder gets 9 yrs, $200_plus mil. @TBrownYahoo said close

That saga is finally over.

$214 million over 9 years.

Holy sh...

 

Cabrera followed by Prince? :blink:

Whoa, Tigers are sickos.

 

At least hopefully they're out on Cespdes?

And I thought they weren't gonna go after anyone crazy, if I remember correctly.

I guess Victor Martinez won't be back once his injury heals.

Or Inge could be gone, Cabrera to third, Martinez/Fielder to first and whichever isn't on first is DHing.

 

Inge has a team option for 2013, Victor is signed through 2014.

Crazy

I wonder if Cabrera gives them any trouble about switching to 3rd or DH.

Man, Detroit is sneaky.

Depends on if he's drunk or not.

 

... Too soon for DUI jokes?

reallly interesting move.

 

unless prince wants to DH for the year and then move cabrera to 3rd in 2013 i really dont see him wanting to DH for 9 years.
