Prince Fielder is about to become even a richer man as he is expected to sign a new two-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. Fielder is expected to take a physical and once that comes back ok he will sign his name on a new contract that will pay him $6.5 million in 2009 and $11.5 million in 2010. It would also include a $1 million signing bonus.

Also the team is close to bringing back Craig Counsell. Counsell is from the Milwaukee area and would love to come back and play for the Brewers. Both deals could be announced Friday or Saturday.

The new deal would buy out the first two years of arbitration that Fielder would normally have so in the long haul this deal will probably save them money if they keep Fielder for long term.
