Fielder trade unlikely
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder is unlikely to be traded before this year’s July 31 deadline.
Fielder got off to a slow start this year, which has hurt his trade value and would make him a sell-low player.
He is also under contract through 2011, so the Brewers have more time if they want to trade him.
The team is highly unlikely to re-sign him, so it is possible he will be dealt in the offseason or next year.
One of the big obstacles in trading him is the fact that suitors are concerned he is not open to signing an extension.
