Free agent first baseman Prince Fielder and the Detroit Tigers agreed Tuesday on a nine-year, $214 million contract that fills the AL Central champions' need for a power hitter, a person familiar with the deal said.

CBS first reported the agreement.

The person told the Associated Press that the deal was subject to a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract was not yet complete.

5. I'm glad this is over.

I kept getting alerts in teh Google about how the Mariners were in the running for signing Fielder and how great this would be. I knew that JZ would never fork over that much money for a 36-year-old after the disaster that was Chone Figgins.

6. Without Prince batting behind him....

Why would anybody ever pitch to Braun?

9. We did get Norichika Aoki...

I'm hoping he'll be the next Ichiro. Aoki-chan Tore up the Central Leauge for seven seasons, batting over .300 for six of them and hopefully he can make the transition to MLB-style play.

7. Great. Now the Tigers have the scariest slugger

to go with the scariest #1 starter, a great rotation and a murderer's row lineup.

My Twins, and everyone else in the AL Central, is gonna be in the Tigers' rear-view mirror this year.
