There have been random reports that Prince Fielder is talking to or at least is interested in talking to the Seattle Mariner. And, sure, it makes some amount of sense given the Mariners’ needs. But Jerry Crasnick spoke with two agents who have had contact with people in Seattle, and it sounds like there’s nothing to the speculation:
Two agents say the Mariners are claiming they only have $3-4 million left to spend on the roster this winter ... According to one of those agents, Prince Fielder-to-Seattle speculation is “extremely overblown.’'
Call me crazy, but I’m gonna guess that if there are more reports about Fielder and the Mariners, I’m going to assume it’s from Fielder’s agent trying to create the impression of a bidding war when, in fact, there is none. He’s done that a couple of times you know.
