Swaim on twitter: Nationals to sign Prince Fielder to 8 year deal?

[SammyBirdland]

It's been awhile, but I think it was another Royle tweet way earlier in the offseason re: Angelos mandating that the O's sign Fielder. I could be wrong.. someone feel free to correct me.

Shockingly, it was our buddy...Jon "No Hidden Agenda" Heyman.

Hearing #orioles interest in fielder is angelos secret mandate. But buck llikes him and duke isn't afraid of big stars/contracts

That's basically what I remember as well.

Dear Peter,

If you sign Prince Fielder, I will personally GUARANTEE that I will attend 12 more games than I did last season. With a guest. We're talking at least $260. Cash money. Think about it.

Sincerely,

SammyBirdland

Dear Pete,

Just think. If you sign Fielder, he can also be the parade float down Pratt Street if we ever get to a .500 record

P.S. You already hooked me into buying tickets with the HOF statue promotions.

Ah, yes...the old "secret mandate" trick. That's the second time this offseason I've fallen for that one!

Buck doesn't just like him he llikes him. There's a hidden code there, for sure.

Maybe the "conversations" with Fielder and Boras are at this stage

We're such gluttons for punishment.

Heyman: The O's have a shot at signing Prince Fielder.

clapdiddy: I find that hard to believe.

Heyman: Would you believe... an average first baseman who is a solid fielder?

clapdiddy: Not really

Heyman: How about Prince Charming and Sally Fields?

I'm mean, we're Orioles fans. It's what we do.

I think Ashton Kucher must have finally created an online version of punked. Unless news breaks soon, these two twitter dudes are looking like fools.

Awesome stuff! I was hoping someone would pick up on my "Get Smart" theme!! :thumbsup1:

Stotle got it right when he posted the video clip of Lucy pulling away the football as Charlie Brown tried to kick it. Over and over and over....

[Sports Guy]

IF what Royle heard is true, then this tells me that PA was ok with them going to a certain level for Fielder but now they have to go higher, so Buck is trying to eek it out of him.

Its interesting if true.

Nats games are going to be fun this season. Ben's Chili Bowl too.
