The Tigers will sign Prince Fielder to a nine-year deal worth $214 million. It's a shame that no team in the NL Central ended up getting saddled with that contract, which is utterly insane for a player with "early decline" written all over him, but in the meantime, Fielder won't be able to torment the Pirates (against whom he has 27 career home runs, more than against any other team) quite so much.
