I meant... I could see the Rangers coming in and signing Fielder with no one knowing. Like what the Angels did with Pujols.

Yeah, that's why I think they're one of the most likely candidates, and this helps the Cubs because they are out of division and out of league.

I would put nothing past Theo and Jed at this point.
I think they are getting something together in case they cannot get Fielder off of his demands.
Rizzo would give us someone to look forward too.

I am guessing that the Rangers are off of the Prince Fielder list so the market shrinks again. Maybe Theo is playing this thing the right way.

What makes you say the Rangers are off?
EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw that Texas has won the rights for Darvish. Sure seems like it's the Cubs or bust for Fielder now. I'm getting excited.

had I answered in this thread even 72 hours ago, I would've said yes, but now I keep flip-flopping and I'm leaning towards no at the moment. I hate having a tight lipped, close to the vest FO lol

The market is shrinking as more than likely the Bears are falling out of the race.
Cubs
Mariners
Jays [Maybe]

Especially if they can't even beat the Seahawks.

those are teams that are in the media as suitors. There are a lot of teams in the MLB that could jump in at the last moment just like the angels with pujols.

There's an outside shot that the Cards or Brewers try to get Fielder to sign with them again. Nothing is at 0% until the press release.

Mariners: Are not going to win anytime soon because of the teams in their division and they are on the other side of the world from where he lives and not a baseball rich market in terms of extra marketing money.
Jays: Are never going to win, and I am Canadian, because of the division that they play in. I do not see the Rogers company giving a 5-6 year deal just after buying the team.
Cubs: Have the management team to be very good in a couple of years, they are close to where he lives ad has played and they offer the most in terms of extra marketing money.

Fielder would get his omeny from overseas endorsements. Nintendo still owns the Mariners right? They are not as far off as you think. Their pitching is pretty good.
The Jays I totally agree with, they need a lot more internal building.
The Cubs aren't close now which for a team that will be contending in a couple of years needs to be. By the time the prospects of the Cubs are ready to be good players Fielder is gone. Fielder is only an entertainment option.

Prince Fielder Rumors: Tuesday: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
Sounds like Fielder either goes to the Cubs or goes out of the National League altogether.

The M's seem to have not enough money for Fielder.

@Buster_ESPN
Buster Olney The Cubs have done some background work on Prince Fielder, and they would like him--but only on their terms, not close to a 10-year deal.

That's how it should be. Have a limit for him, be it years or dollars or in most cases, both...if he refuses to accept either one, then move on.

It's nice because Boras is not in charge of negotiations, for once. Go Team Theo!
