Mauer Keeps it Small Market, Gives Fielder Fans Hope
By: Melissa S. Wollering Prince Fielder and Joe Mauer are two very different MLB players. The one thing they could have in common—a desire to buck the trend of big market baseball and stay with their respective clubs, steering clear of the free agent market free-for-all.
