I think a 5/120 would get it done.


I think he wants more years, but because he is young, he might opt for 4-5 years, since he'll still be relatively young after those years- 32

Yeah, if you give him enough yearly, he'll be in.
Money is money, and the Jays are on the right track to push for the playoffs within the 5 years

Toronto Star baseball writer thinks theres 0% chance of the Jays getting Fielder but he seemed really cynical.

I'd be shocked if we're out of the running for Fielder. Toronto is obviously an attractive location, especially to a guy with Fielders personality, I can picutre him with Lawrie, Bautista, Arencibia ect. Can't picture him playing for the Marlins or Orioles.

I want to address this to xVitality as well
I dont think Toronto is yet to be attractive; we are a few starters away from that, and a solid OBP guy other than Bautista
That ONTOP of having Fielder too.

I see him in an Orioles uniform (Not saying I think he'll land there, just saying I can picture it)

It wouldn't be the first time a good player signed into a franchise that wasn't too attractive because of the money offered though.

You make a good point.
There is still some hope-- apparently a mystery team (Not Cubs, Marlins, or the obvious Cards) that made a 200mil + offer. Who knows,

I don't know how many teams are going to offer him more than 6 years. Teams are being wary of the 7/8/9 year deals.
Pujols will get 8/200 Fielder will not imo.

Woo Darvish posted now it's time for the company that guages me for my cellphone to throw money at this Japanese pitcher with the oh so very Turkish name.
