MILWAUKEE (AP)—First baseman
Prince Fielder and the
Milwaukee Brewers reached a preliminary agreement Thursday on an $18 million, two-year contract. The agreement is subject to a physical, Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said. Melvin declined to discuss the contract’s value.
“There’s things you have to do to get to that point to finalize deals,” Melvin said. “We won’t have anything tonight, but there’s a good possibility we could have something tomorrow.”
Milwaukee renewed Fielder’s contract last year for $670,000, and Fielder was eligible for arbitration for the first time. He asked for $8 million and the Brewers offered $6 million when figures were exchanged Tuesday. He can become a free agent after the 2011 season.
