Lions may be kings, but this new Tiger is the Prince of the Jungle

After a nice playoff run with the Milwaukee Brewers last season, Prince Fielder decided he would not be re-signing with them. After months of speculation as to where he would end up, a deal has finally be reached. The Detroit Tigers have signed Fielder to a nine-year, $214 million deal. Princes' reasoning for not returning to Milwaukee was simple: Money. His agent, Scott Boras said at the end of the season that Princes' new contract would be at least $200 million, which immediatley turned the small market team away. This new deal makes Fielder the 4th highest paid player in the MLB today. Prince Fielder will be missed by teammates and fans alike.
