This contract, however bad it is for the Phillies, and I do believe they made a mistake, makes it pretty clear to me that the Brewers have literally 0% chance to keep Fielder. It kills me to say it because I love the big guy, but I also realize the situation as well. That being said, we may as well start looking to trade Fielder pretty soon. After the first 20 games or so of the year, I don't think we have the pitching at all to make the playoffs. With no chance of keeping Fielder, and very little chance of making any playoff run, I wouldn't mind seeing us try to take advantage of some other teams who would love to get Prince. Boston has to be getting to a point of near desperation now where they'd maybe overpay us for Fielder. Even Tampa Bay may decide to really try and make an all out push for this year due to their hot start and give us a little more than we expect for the guy. San Diego will unload Gonzalez soon enough, and when they do that's one less possible trading partner. If losing Fielder is inevitable, and that is how it looks to me, we may as well deal with that sooner rather than later. The money saved from a Prince deal could go toward extending Weeks, McGehee, etc.
