Prince Fielder and the Brewers are closing in on a two-year contract. An announcement could come as early as Thursday, SI.com has learned.

Fielder submitted an arbitration figure of $8 million while the team submitted $6 million, but the two sides have been working toward the multi-year agreement since. SI's Tom Verducci first learned that the sides were in talks for a two-year deal.
