Newsday?s Ken Davidoff has some fresh insight?on the eerily silent Prince Fielder sweepstakes.
Fielder ?wanted the Cubs? because he has superb career numbers at Wrigley Field, and the two Chicago airports provide easy access (i.e. direct flights) to his Florida home. But, as we?ve addressed already on this blog, the Northsiders are in full rebuilding mode under new president Theo Epstein.
The Nationals had some interest, and might still be lingering, but they?ve turned ?a little gun-shy? after dishing out a seven-year, $126 million contract last offseason to overall disappointment Jayson Werth.
Many have suggested that the Blue Jays might be the darkhorse, but they ?won?t commit beyond five years.?
In other words, it?s anyone?s guess as to where Fielder will ultimately end up. But it?s now January 2012, and it?s probably closing in on crunch time for super-agent Scott Boras and his big fish client.
Fielder, 27, owns a .929 career OPS and slugged 38 home runs alongside a .299/.415/.566 slash line last year for Milwaukee. He?s thought to be seeking a deal similar to what Albert Pujols got from the Angels.
