MILWAUKEE - 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 off the debt, 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.
Fielder received a $2.4 million signing bonus after being the Brewers' top pick in the 2002 draft.
