I think its the stadium factor. I won't be surprised if he ends up there, but I think it's more likely Toronto though.Quote:

i believe the Nats & Giants have just as great a shot as any team to land him. If I was forced to choose a team i'd choose the Giants but really feel all the clubs listed have an equal shot. it just depends on who's going to pony up the most years and we really have no way of knowing. prince is kind of an oddball in that he's so huge surely some teams will be more conservative than others on a long term deal.
I agree on the Nats, but not SF. Cain is on the last year of his deal & Lince will be needing an extension soon as well. Combine that with a pretty promising young 1B in Brandon Belt and I think they opt for the cheap prospect and hope he can pan out in the majorsQuote:

Just out of curiosity, where has Fielder-to-the-M's been discussed? I just spent 10 minutes looking online and couldn't find anything.
Try mlb.comQuote:

Jon Heyman's a dolt but he's usually correct when it comes to Boras clients.
Also, did you try Googling "Prince Fielder mariners" because this is the second result on the list.
I would love, love, love if the Nats were to sign him to a 3 or 4 or possibly even 5 year deal for 25 mill or so a year, but It ain't happening. More likely it will be the Cubs....
A lineup of Desmond, Werth, Zimmerman, Fielder, Morse, Harper, Ramos, Espinosa, pitcher would go great with a rotation of Strasburg, Gonzalez, Zimmerman, Wang, and Lannan!! Not to mention a bullpen of Detwiler, Gorzelanny, .... , Burnette, Clippard and Storen.
is it spring yet?
"The Mariners have been named as potential suitors for weeks, but the team doesn’t appear to have the payroll room to add a player who will command up to $20 million a season."Quote:
