$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

Scary. There are few people as good at thier job as Scott Boras is at his. To get that contract without NY or Boston being involved is unreal.
