Prince Fielder could be signed as soon as today. Don’t hold your breath.

Alexander Ovechkin was suspended for 3 games for his hit on Milan Michalek. Ovechkin left his feet to launch himself into Michalek, prompting the suspension. In a classy move, Ovechkin pulled out of the All-Star game because he doesn’t feel he deserves to be there being a suspended player.

The Big East will add Navy in 2015. At least they’re actually in the East.

Tiger Woods could play at Torrey Pines this week for a slice of a 6 million dollar purse. Instead, he is playing in Abu Dhabi for a piece of a $2.7 million pie. Why? He’s getting paid just to show up. The US tour doesn’t allow for appearance bonuses.

The Washington Wizards fired Head Coach Flip Saunders today. His team won 2 games this season.

Bob Kravitz sat down with Peyton Manning for an extensive interview. Manning is very unhappy with the way the organization has been handled recently. It’s a good read and includes some telling stuff.

The Washington Capitals host the Boston Bruins tonight. Without Green, Ovechkin, and Backstrom, tonight’s match-up heavily favors the Bruins. Although, the Capitals have a 17-6-1 home record. Tim Thomas of the Bruins skipped out on their White House visit, citing his disapproval with today’s senior politicians, regardless of political party affiliation.

Prince Fielder has yet to sign. If he did, you’d see a little red bar on ESPN for hours saying “Breaking News.” Scott Boras is inevitably looking for a huge contract for Prince Fielder. The teams “interested” are reportedly the Washington Nationals, Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, and Las Angeles Dodgers. The Nationals and Rangers are the two teams that have openly discussed signing him.

Although the Nationals are currently discussing a contract with Fielder, they Nationals have Adam LaRoche penciled in at first. Michael Morse could move to first if the Nationals sign a center fielder, which would push LaRoche out. Signing Fielder would do the same. The Nationals could be a slugger away from contending. I expect Fielder to wear a curly W on his hat this spring.

The Rangers put a ton of money into Yu Darvish. Josh Hamilton is looking for more money and the Rangers’ payroll, altogether, is going up. They have the money to sign Fielder, but do they have the money to sign Fielder AND give Hamilton a raise?

The Orioles are trying to keep their poker face on and hoping the price comes way down. By not expressing definite interest in Fielder, they can sit back and wait to see what the market is for Fielder instead of meeting with Boras and making an offer that will simply drive the price up. That said, don’t expect Fielder to land in Baltimore. The Orioles simply won’t put up the money.

The Dodgers are in an interesting situation with Frank McCourt in the process of selling the team. The franchise’s value raises with Prince Fielder at first base, but the priority is the sale of the team.

Seattle is a possible landing spot for fielder. Justin Smoak was a promising prospect at first, but turned in a .234 average in his second season with only 15 home runs in 123 games. I don’t see Seattle putting up the money.
