Brewers Eyeing Fielder Extension Cautiously
Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said that he won’t set any “artificial deadlines” for talks on a contract extension for first baseman Prince Fielder. “Prince has said he wants to be here, we have said we would love to have him here and we know our fans would love to have him here,” Attanasio said Saturday. “There is no timetable, no pressure on either side. I know you guys have seen Prince and he’s pretty relaxed. I think I’m pretty relaxed.” The Brewers have already engaged Fielder’s agent Scott Boras in some casual conversations about a contract extension. Fielder, who doesn’t turn 26 until May, figures to land a mega-deal if he hits free agency, however he remains under team control through the 2011 season. (Rotoworld)
