Prince Fielder is among the best left-handed hitters in baseball, and Cubs fans are excited today because of Tuesday's news of the Detroit Tigers signing the All-Star first baseman out of the National League Central.
The Tigers weren't content with just winning the AL Central in 2011. No, they needed more.
Fielder has agreed to a nine-year, $214 million deal with Detroit, who weren't considered one of the favorites to land the ex-Brewers slugger.
Not only are the Cubs not players for Prince Fielder, but Theo Epstein plans to completely rebuild, according to a report.

Now that the Albert Pujols domino has fallen, it's only a matter of time before Prince Fielder's goes, too.
The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to terms with free agent third baseman Aramis Ramirez, his agent tells The Associated Press.
Albert Pujols is the most feared hitter in baseball and was arguably the biggest free agent to hit the open market since Alex Rodriguez left Seattle for Texas back in 2001.
A report this morning out of the St. Louis Post Dispatch said that the Cubs have made a qualifying offer to Albert Pujols. The Cubs themselves had "no comment" on the report, but let's look at this realistically.
When it comes to the Cubs, I'm more in favor of Theo & Co. rolling the dice on Prince Fielder and offering the 27-year-old portly powerhouse a long-term contract. As long as it's, you know, not too long.
Though signing Prince Fielder or Albert Pujols may seem counter productive to the plan laid out by new Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein, one MLB expert said it makes sense.

Prince Fielder is in the final year of his contract with the Brewers and the slugger has made it known that this will probably be his last hurrah in the Brew City.
By making just three (relatively) simple steps this offseason, the Cubs can practically guarantee that the excitement – and the crowds – will return to Wrigley Field in 2012.
Yovani Gallardo matched a season high with 10 strikeouts over seven innings and Prince Fielder hit a 443-foot homer before the Brewers bullpen held on in Milwaukee's 6-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night.
Prince Fielder hit his 23rd home run and Rickie Weeks needed to be helped off the field when he injured his left ankle running out a throw to first in the Milwaukee Brewers' 2-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.
Prince Fielder is only 27 years old, currently tied for the NL lead in RBI and was just christened as MVP of the 2011 All-Star Game. He's also a free agent-to-be, wants a megabucks deal and measures in at 5-foot-11, 275 pounds.
Tuesday July 12th, 2011, should go down as one of the best days ever for baseball lovers in the Brew City, and I must admit, as a lifetime member of the long suffering Cubs Nation...it stings.
