Washington may not have been Prince Fielder?s first choice, but Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Nationals ?have emerged as the favorite? to sign the free agent first baseman.
Last month general manager Mike Rizzo downplayed Washington?s interest in Fielder, saying that Adam LaRoche was the team?s starting first baseman, but last offseason the Nationals signed a Scott Boras client, Jayson Werth, to a $126 million contract and Boras also represents Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper.
Haudricourt doesn?t offer any details about dollar figures or contract length, but there?s been lots of previous speculation that Fielder will have to settle for a shorter-term deal than Boras is seeking.
LaRoche is owed $8 million this season with a $10 million option or $1 million buyout for 2013, but missed all but 43 games last year with a shoulder injury that required surgery.
