Buzz: Fielder, Peterson, and the Brewers

by Michael Baron on October 12th, 2009 at 3:53 pm

Jon Heyman of SI.com says that the Brewers will attempt to sign first baseman Prince Fielder to a long term contract this winter, and would only trade him if those talks go sour.

…he is the prototypical first baseman that the Mets should be interested in, but Fielder will command a kings ransom in any potential deal, and i worry that the Mets don’t have the type of players that the Brewers would be interested in to get a deal together

Fielder finished the season hitting .299 with 46 home runs and 141 RBI, and played in all 162 games.

Meanwhile, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, Brewers GM Doug Melvin has already met with former Mets pitching coach Rick Peterson about filling their pitching coach vacancy.
