Out of the blue the Detroit Tigers sign Prince Fielder to a 9 year, $200+ million contract yesterday. The Tigers were not even whispered to be in the running for Prince with the likes of Miami, Anaheim, Seattle & Washington.
The signing of Fielder immediately elevates the Tigers to favorite status to win the AL Central. At the very least the Tigers become another threat for the AL Wild Card with Anaheim & Tampa Bay. Watch out Red Sox & Yankees.
Pujols & Fielder become this year's version of the $200 million players club. It took a little longer to get there for Fielder, but Boras got his client the contract that he promised.
It's good to be Prince today.
