Interesting quotes from Fielder today...

On whether this is his last game in Milwaukee...

"I don't know. I really wish I could tell you 100 percent," Fielder said. "That's out of my control. Anything can happen, so I'm just taking it like every other offseason."

 

The Brewers engaged Fielder's agent, Scott Boras, in discussions about a contract extension earlier this year, but were reportedly spurned after offering a deal in the neighborhood of five years and $100 million. There are no indications that those talks will be revived.

 

Asked whether he thought those discussions would be re-started, Fielder conceded, "probably not." He is comfortable with the way the discussion has been handled by both sides.

 

"It's a business," he said. "Sometimes, business can't be handled right away."

"It's no different than any offseason time," Fielder said. "The wife is back, packing up the apartment. It's just time to go home. ... It was great here. I had great times, met a lot of great friends and teammates. Now we'll see what happens."

Translation: I'm ready to be playing elsewhere.

 

Good luck with your future, Prince. Now let's just hope Melvin can get some really good players in return for him.
