Tigers, Prince Fielder Nearing Nine-Year Deal

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [January 24 at 1:54pm CST]

 

The Tigers are "very close" to a nine-year deal with Prince Fielder, Yahoo's Tim Brown tweets. Fielder will join Miguel Cabrera in the middle of the Tigers' order to create more than enough offense to make up for the loss of Victor Martinez.

[VA Sox Fan]

WOW! Rumors around here were that he was going to sign with the Nats. But he is a better fit for an AL team.

Mein gott 2.0

I would hate to be in room service at whatever hotel the Tigers are at.

[BSN07]

This is absolutely nuts. The legend of Boras grows even bigger. This is by far his biggest rabbit... no elephant out of the hat act yet. Unreal.

[BSN07]

So much for not wanting to play where his Father played. 200M will do that.

[Station 13]

Cabrera will move to 3B probably. That DEFENSE!

Congratulation Dave Dombrowski! You just handed out the dumbest contract in baseball history!

[redsoxrules]

Holy s***

[Station 13]

You can feel the tremor when Fielder and Cabrera takes the field.

That is INSANE!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

That's insane.

Lol VA. Nice choice of words.

[Divinity]

Lol over 23.5m per year for 9 years, horrible contract for the Tigers, who were essentially bidding against themselves. I can't imagine any other team was anywhere near that number.

[VA Sox Fan]

Lol VA. Nice choice of words.

[a700hitter]

I think he and Miggy will share 1B and DH.

[Meh]

First off, wow.

 

Second, wow... the AL is stacking up fast. Tigers, Rangers and Yankees are super powers and then the Angels, Rays, Red Sox and Jays(just signed Cordero) aren't too bad either. Going to be a fun year, but playing in the playoffs isn't going to be much fun.

[iortiz]

Wow... Speechless!!!!!

[iortiz]

Way to go f***ing Boras!!!!... I hate this guy

 

The AL will be a dog fight.

[a700hitter]

So much for the falling market that happens every year if you wait.

Just can't miss an opportunity for some back-patting.

I didn't mention anything about myself there...

The Tigers got really formidable all of a sudden.

The Yankees, the team you root for, are a "Super-power". That's the definition of a fan's back-patting.

Think about 2013 when they have Cabrera, Fielder AND V-Mart in the same lineup. Wow.
