"We're prepared to move on without Prince Fielder by moving Ryan Braun to first base at some point in the future."

Re: Braun signs another LTC with Brewers
The deal includes a no-trade clause. The mutual option is 20 million with a 4 million buyout.

Re: Braun signs another LTC with Brewers
Quality ballplayer, but that's an enormous amount of time to be on the hook for a dude you controlled until 2015 anyway.
Not a fan of the deal.

Re: Braun signs another LTC with Brewers
If Braun is worth this, what is Votto worth?

Re: Braun signs another LTC with Brewers
Affordable? Or affordable-without-handcuffing? Not being argumentative, but it's a fine line for a small-mid market team, IMO.

Re: Braun signs another LTC with Brewers
I still think the Howard contract will set the standard for the Votto and Pujols contract.
