Fielder: This is probably my last year

[moneyman255]

Fielder, in an interview with TBS, said, "I'm signed for this year, but being real about it, it is probably the last year."

He confirmed his feelings Wednesday to reporters after the Brewers' 6-2 loss to Colorado.

"It's the same thing I've been saying," Fielder said. "That's what you guys said last year. Probably. It is what it is."

The Brewers have ridden the potent combination of Fielder and outfielder Ryan Braun to the top of the NL Central this season. But Fielder, when asked about keeping that duo together, said he didn't see it in the future.

"It's been great, unfortunately, this is probably the last year of the one-two punch... But I think it's been good, (five) years, him and me. Hopefully, we can go out with a blast," Fielder said.

Braun told TBS he understood Fielder's desire to explore all options in free agency, but was focused on the Brewers' playoff run.

"This game we play is a job, it's a profession," Braun said. "Sometimes I think we lose sight of that which is a good thing. But there's always a business side. Everybody has to do what is in their best interest. ... But for him, I couldn't see why every team in baseball wouldn't want him on their team.

"Certainly, he will get some huge offers in the offseason. So for us right now, we are just trying to enjoy while we're together, enjoy the fact that he's still a member of the Milwaukee Brewers and accomplish as much as we can this year."

Because 100 million isnt enough to live on. I wish there were more players like Braun, Tulo, Weaver etc. Players who know that money isnt everything.

Good thing to drop on your team right before the playoffs.

"Hey guys, I know we had a great season and all...and I think you are all good guys.....but I am going to find a better team who will pay me more once our season ends. Thanks for all the good times though."

Agreed. I guess this was supposed to be showed on TBS during the playoffs, but it got leaked before hand.

The same day K-Rod basically bitched that he isnt getting any closing opp.

In other news the sky is blue.

Just remember Prince, you'll get an extra million in free agency for every home run you hit in the playoffs..

Between him and K-Rod, guys... shutup. Win a damn World Series in Milwaukee!

 

[FedEx227]

Btw, definitely going to two Brewers/Cubs games next week at Wrigley.

Yeah I think this is bad timing of this announcement. You have a first place team that could maybe be playing for the pennent against the philies in the nlcs. I wonder what is going through his teammates minds right now!

Who cares? You'd have to be borderline retarded to think fielder would still be in Milwaukee in 2012. Just stating the obvious.
