WANTS to be in Texas.  By evidence that HE HIMSELF went there, and had personal discussions with the Rangers brass.  JackyZ has only gotten to talk to Boras, I have read nothing about any actually talks with Prince only with Boras.  Prince's stated desire is to remain close to his off season home in Florida, and to play for a "winner".  Neither of which come close to discribing Seattle.  And reading the tea leaves a bit, Texas seems to appeal to Fielder because he knows he will hit 40+ jacks year in year out there, where as Seattle has a park notorious for supressing runs, especially home runs (regardless of handedness, even though lefties do better, a lefty would do EVEN better in Texas).
Yes, in a lot of respects I am playing Internet Mind Reader, but in this case it sure seems to me that 2 + 2 = 4.  
M's:  Hey, Prince, we really want you to come here, and we will pay th most!
Prince: Ummm, hey Nationals what you got for me???
Nats: No thanks.
M's: [jumping up and down waving arms] Oh, Priiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnce, over here, hey over here, we got money, and a great city and you will be the toast of the town.  Hey look over here!
Prince: Hmmmmm, Texas you looking for a 1b/DH????
Rangers: No, thanks
etc, etc, etc.
