The Winners And Losers In The Prince Fielder Deal.The same goes for Prince Fielder to sign with the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday afternoon qualify as déjà vu again?
You bet your sweet Seger does. Not only is the strong base first title to the city where his father hit 51 homers in 1991, but the news of a very similar way to deal with Albert Pujols with the Angels in Los Angeles in December: A Tweet out of nowhere Our own Tim Brown citing a landing point we had not considered (Detroit) for a contract period of incredible (nine years!) and a larger total extra money ($ 214 million, whistle slower).
CBS Sports Jon Heyman on Twitter was the first numbers, which do not include an exit clause and are pending a physical.
As we did with Pujols contract, here's a rundown of the winners and losers are emerging as the ink begins to dry up in the last baseball mega-contract.
Winners
Scott Boras: Just as we were beginning to doubt it, the super-agent becomes what he mistakenly assumed it was a declining market Fielder in the first of more than 200 million contracts, since A-Rod. All this with one of his infamous mystery teams, no less!
Staying patient was key to Boras in this operation, but could not have happened if the Tigers did not have the need to address unexpected hole in their lineup. Here's guessing Boras is going to buy something nice Victor Martinez torn ACL during the next week or so.
Prince Fielder: It was at the height of the length or the total value of $ 252 million agreement Pujols, but the total of $ 214 million contract calls for global Fielder's fourth-largest of all time. He's already made $ 35 million for this point in his career, as well as you could possibly lose even more money because it will only be 36 when this deal expires.
Dave Dombrowski: All holders of going to people like Jon Daniels and Andrew Friedman, general manager of Detroit, but has built a playoff caliber team with a strong rotation and a strong lineup. Of course, it helps when you have millions of dollars from a pizza mogul 83-year-old, who seems determined to win a World Series title with the time left in this mortal body.
Little Caesars Pizza: You cannot buy the kind of free publicity that thousands of Twitter jokes about Fielder's waist offers. Prince, of course, can be purchased 42.8 million and $ 5 pizzas at Little Caesars. That's only truck, of course.
Slows Bar-BQ: While we're on the subject of Prince appetite, there is no doubt that will help boost the economy of Detroit, the city is sponsoring the best place for barbecue. (And before you write that he is a vegetarian, remember that it was reported that the pace has meat back in the playoffs in St. Louis.)
Ryan Zimmerman: With Fielder off the market, the third baseman for the Washington Nationals no longer have to wait in line for a contract extension and the risk of being told to empty the cash register.
Preseason picks: We all laughed a lot when all 45 of the ESPN experts (yes, he correctly says 45) took the Red Sox win the American League in 2011. But it is hard to imagine anything like a majority of favorites in 2012. The Tigers, Angels, Rangers, Yankees, Red Sox and Rays are all going to get their share of nods, but at least one team is guaranteed to miss the playoffs. Such competition is great for baseball.

Losers
Prince Fielder: It is impossible to feel bad for someone just to increase your personal value of $ 214 million in one day. But he will win a lot of those dollars every single time he made an awkward question about his father, Cecil. The two have been separated from each other for quite some time and are constantly reminded that you have to chop, no matter how much money is made.
Washington Nationals: Jayson Werth contract has officially claimed its first victim to lose in Prince Fielder? The opponents apparently did not want to be tied to other long-term contract - certainly not for nine years - but definitely Fielder adding that children have a direct competitor in 2012. And as the richest owner in baseball, the old man Lerner could afford to take the hit.
Sincerely: There are any number of excuses I could do to write "I really think Fielder for NATs is inevitable" in the morning on Monday. But I will not. You win some and you lose, so you break the egg and throw it my way. I hear it's good for the skin.
Kansas City: Part of the plan view team full of returning to the playoffs based on the Central League remains weak over the coming years. And while the White Sox, the Twins and Indians might be cooperating with the vision of KC seems to be a huge mountain to overcome in Michigan for at least the next 2-3 years.
Central Division pitching: No need to explain further.
Cincinnati Reds: As MLB.com Mark Sheldon points out, the contract may not change anything Fielder with free agency approaching Joey Votto in 2013. But seeing that kind of money wandering Fielder has to shake even the most optimistic of fans cells. Votto is to be given a discount only if healthy and there is probably no chance of that happening.
