Honestly..right now. I think Theo is letting the market cool. If Prince really only wants to play east of the Mississippi then that narrows the options down a ton. And frankly none of those teams are going to go 10 years $200-250 million. There's really not another team out there with the funds available to do that who need/have room for Prince except maybe St. Louis, the Cubs...and.?
Theo is slow playing the hand right now. He doesn't want to go 10/200-250 so he's not going to. If Fielder goes elsewhere Theo shrugs and moves on. If the market cools and the length of contract drops I could see Theo re-entering this thing at around 5 years 100-125. Smart move by Theo. Either way he's able to move on with his plan. Obviously having Fielder will be nice but it's going to be within the framework Theo wants. That's how smart teams are run.

Well aware...... I really doubt a mile will matter. Plus East St Louis isn't. Fielder is black. He'll live there.

I am not holding my breath. Like Rice said we are rebuilding. All we have signed/acquired so far are average to below average players.

The Cubs are desperate and there idea of drafting talent took a hit and they have nothing to trade.
Desperate situations lead to results. I vote YES. |

I voted yes because it will help make this club watchable/interesting/entertaining while they are bad and it's completely realistic Fielder will still be in his prime when they're ready to contend.

No, he's going to sign with the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters.
