Fielder owes $400K in back taxes
MILWAUKEE (AP) Brewers slugger Prince Fielder owes more than $400,000 in unpaid taxes, according to a published report.
Fielder declined comment on the report through a team spokesman before Wednesday night's game against Toronto. An IRS spokesman told The Associated Press that Fielder could have made payments or even paid it off, but that it might not be recorded yet.
The Detroit News' Tax Watchdog blog published Tuesday a copy of the IRS' Notice of Federal Tax Lien filed against Fielder on Oct. 6, 2005. It was addressed to a residence in his name in Melbourne, Fla., and noted he owed a total of $409,149.14 assessed on Sept. 13, 2004, and Feb. 7, 2005.
"That's nobody's business but his," Brewers manager Ned Yost said. "That has nothing to do with baseball."
General manager Doug Melvin declined comment. A message left with Fielder's agent, Scott Boras, wasn't immediately returned.
Fielder received a $2.4 million signing bonus after being the Brewers' top pick in the 2002 draft.
Walker expected to be ready for camp
ALAMEDA, Calif. The Oakland Raiders expect new receiver Javon Walker to be ready for training camp when he recovers from injuries incurred during a robbery in Las Vegas last weekend.
Raiders coach Lane Kiffin finally spoke to Walker by phone on Wednesday morning, more than two days after Walker was discovered unconscious and beaten on a back street near the Las Vegas Strip following a night of partying. Walker was released from a hospital after treatment for a concussion and facial injuries.
