Brewers Make Offers To Braun, Fielder

The Brewers have made long-term contract offers to both Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun but don't appear optimistic about reaching agreements anything soon, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

"We are having a number of discussions with our young players and their agents, and we'll see where it goes," team owner Mark Attanasio said.

"From their standpoint, they're all young and in the upswing of their careers. They're not in any rush, and if I were 23, I'd probably not be in any rush, either," he added.
