I still think that Texas is where Boras wants him though Washington is probably willing to pay the most. Just don't know who else has the money and need?

I think Boras sold him and he thought he could get a longer term high dollar deal with a competitive team. Problem is no one wants to commit the $ to him long term, because of his genetics and what may happen to his body in 5-8 yrs. Also his defense is sub par at best and will most likely only get worse. There is no doubt Boras and most likely Fielder want to be in Texas. I know some people in the organization and fielder is a very dedicated family man and a fierce competitor. He won't go to a crappy team just for the $. Fielder on an off day would do whatever he could to be with his family. He would fly out and back just to spend the day with the wife and kids. Who is left on the west coast anyway that would be interested in Fielder?
