Prince Fielder: 9 Year Deal with Detroit

[AdamRavs]

Yes I forgot Vegan Fielder.. He will take some tofu on the side as well!

#marlins have discussed internally the possibility of going after prince if they lose out on albert

The word is Boras is going to be looking for a huge deal so not sure how that will work out.

If albert stays in stl, marlins would look at prince, buehrle, wilson. In mix for fielder, a floridian: sea, tor, cubs, tex, bal, mil

like this option so much better

[MiamiHomer]

Early word is that Boras wants more than whatever Pujols will get.

[HUGG]

Don't even bother.

#marlins definitely will talk to prince if they don't get albert. Buehrle, wilson (angels the leader there) also options

Sources tell Daily News Pujols likely heading back to Cardinals, Marlins shifting their attention to Fielder.

If Pujols goes to Cards (very possible, maybe likely), Marlins will think hard about serious run at Fielder

#marlins already in pursuit of prince. Signs indicate cards likely to get pujols

- Heyman (Twitter)

If it's for 3 years or so, I'm interested. Not very interested beyond that.

[MiamiHomer]

No chance he takes that low amount of years. Fielder is going to probably take a while to play out.

Many are thinking Boras would look for a long deal with an opt out clause and a higher total than Pujols gets.

Loving the #marlins style here. Now talking to prince. prefer pujols for marketing but love fielders age (27)/production

If Prince was 31-32, I would be very against it. But, he'll be 28 and that's right up in his prime. I could deal with a 5 year deal, but anything more than that is silly.

[Omar]

Five years with an opt out after three, if the money is right, would probably be ideal - if they get starting pitching as well.

Marlins now aggressively chasing Buehrle and Fielder....Loria, Beinfest, HIll and Samson aren't playing....they mean business!

I was thinking more 7+ year deal with an opt out after year 4

[TheMendozaLine]

Fielder AND Buehrle? Not buying it. Maybe one or the other, but not both.

Or maybe after losing out on Pujols, Loria has a new strategy:

[MiamiHomer]

Buehrle probably won't get anything more than a 3 year deal so I don't think one depends on the other. Now with C.J. Wilson, that's probably different.

[Valid]

I honestly don't see how in the world Boras expects Prince to get a bigger contract than Pujols.

[MiamiHomer]

When asked if they have interest in Prince Fielder Samson said "No".
