Spring training in FL where his family lives (check)
Competitive team (check)
AL team for possibility of DH in future(check)
Only negative is having to reside in Detroit for a portion of the year (however housing is pretty cheap especially on the High end)

Good deal for Fielder and Boras. Don't think it is a good deal for the Tigers long term
Where the Nats the only other team interested? It seemed like it was a buyers market, but in the end it looks like he still got what he wanted.
