$23.77 mil per year (check) 4th biggest contract in MLB history
No west coast (check)
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.
