Prince Fielder is going to sign with the Tigers.
Contract, 9 years and $214 million.
Scott Boras is a genius.
Prince in a Cubs uniform? Not a chance.
In the end, even though this contract will become a nightmare for Tigers in about 5 years, I still think this is a great signing for them. With the their lineup and pitching, the Tigers will likely be the favorites to win the AL Central for the next 4 years. That gives them plenty of chances to win it all. That will make this contract worth it.
For the Cubs, they may not have added anything significant pieces this off-season, but the subtraction of Fielder and Pujols in the NL Central is a very good thing.
So, Prince is a Tiger...
