As soon as I heard Howard was signed I thought it put Prince right out of the Brewers' range. I think Boras is going to be pounding the table on the 8yr 200mil figure he put out there now, and will use this Howard deal to show that he's not asking too much ($25mil per/yr, Prince is younger). Prince probably won't get that deal, but I think it's almost guaranteed that they wait for free agency now. At that point someone will almost certainly out bid the Brewers, so trading seems the only option left.
