08:22 AM ET 12.28 | So, about the report that Prince Fielder may take a three-year deal at $26 million per season? "Not only is that inaccurate and delusional, but it seems that some people have gotten into their New Year's Eve stash just a little bit early this year," [Scott Boras] told ESPNChicago.com on Tuesday. Apparently there are still upwards of six teams still interested in Fielder. Teams such as the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers would certainly be part of the bidding, although it's unclear how many years they would be willing to offer. Boas told ESPNChicago in November that bidding would start at seven years for Fielder. ... However that was before Albert Pujols received a 10-year, $254 million contract from [Los Angeles].

That being said, some foolish team will end up gladly throwing 7 years at him. Don't underestimate what this fine prime grazing cattle will bring

This Scott Boras saga is getting old ... Who cares anymore? Obviously he is not fiding a team that is willing to sign Grimace to more than 3-4 years.

He's just trying to stay in the news. I don't think anyone thinks he'll sign for 3. I think it will wind up 5 or 6. Lets face it, if someone was willing to throw Pujols money at Buffet Boy, they'd have done it by now. He's not getting 10, that's for sure. But 3 + 2, I think not. It'll be a minimum of 5 guarenteed.

If Boras is waiting for a seven year deal to come around, this could take a while.

He's got all day. One and a half months to be exact.

I would think that by now, if somebody wanted Prince badly enough to offer 7 years they would have already. He probably needs to lower his expectations but his agent won't hear of it.

I agree...the guy has a lethal bat...but his weight is the issue...everyone is afraid he's gonna turn into Mo Vaughn....

Just throw some weight loss provisions in his contract.

How is what Boras does "carpet-bagging?"

He should be required to have a season ending batting average above his weight or his contract is voided. Wouldn't that be a good incentive to lose a few pounds?

Mo Vaughn is definitely a great example of what could happen. If you think Fielder runs slow now, just imagine when his knees go bad.

That sounds about right. But after what Pujols got, which I think we can all agree is insane, Fielder had better stats last year and will get what he wants. If he wants ten, he'll get ten. At age 27, he's a much better bet to live up to his contract than Pujols is.

I wouldn't put the word "provisions"..in his contract...he'd think it would have something to do with "Boars Head" products......:)
