Clubs that have spoken with the Milwaukee Brewers expect the team to ramp up their trade talks for first baseman Prince Fielder this winter, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN. However, the Brewers understand that it’s going to be a tough market with the huge supply of free-agent first baseman available.

Here’s the list of expected first basemen to be available after the 2010 season:

• Left-handed hitters (like Prince): Adam Dunn, Carlos Pena, Adam LaRoche, Aubrey Huff, Lyle Overbay, Russell Branyan.
• Right-handed hitters: Paul Konerko, Derrek Lee, Jorge Cantu.
• Switch-hitter: Lance Berkman.

One exec close to Stark said the Brewers were “shocked” that there wasn’t more interest in Fielder before the trade deadline in July. It’s understandable given that the Brewers were asking for two young “front-end” starters in return. The same exec said “they definitely would have [moved him] if they got the right package.”
