Nothing worse could happen to the Milwaukee Brewers if Prince Fielder chose to go elsewhere when his contract is finally up, but he decided to sign a two year deal with the Brewers for about $18 million to stay in Milwaukee for a little bit longer.
The Brewers were hit with a pretty big blow earlier in the off season when their pitching ace CC Sabathia decided to go for the big money with the New York Yankees signing an unbelievable $161 million dollar contract over the next seven years.With Sabathia's contract is the he is officially the highest paid pitcher of all-time.
CC Sabathia singled handedly lead the Brewers in the post season and could have lead them as far as the World Series if it weren't for the Philadelphia Phillies getting the best of him.
Believe it or not, Prince Fielder on the other hand was only making about $670,000 last season, so he was due for a big pay raise for his amazing play over the past couple of seasons as the Brewers hard hitting first baseman. Hitters like Fielder are usually the most desirable in the league and don't stay on the market long if their current team doesn't lock them down quickly with a lucrative deal. The Brewers may have kept their team in contention for the forseable future keeping Fielder happy for the next couple years in Milwaukee where most prime time players don't want to play due to a poor market.
Although Fielder didn't have the breakout year that he did back in 2007 where he became the youngest player (24) ever to hit 50 homeruns, but he has proved that it wasn't just a fluke as he was able to hit 34 homeruns and 102 RBIs with a batting average of .276. The last season proved to be their most successful yet lead by Fielder and Sabathia as they reached the post season for the first time way in 1982.
