Place your bets....who signs Bonds?

[splitterpfj]

What's to become of Barry Bonds? Who will sign him, or will no one sign him at all?

 

My bet...the Detroit Tigers.

[schwaby131647185073]

My bet is on the Angels. I see it simple he stays in Cali close to his family hits dh ahead or behind of Vlad and breaks the Home Run record before the All-star break next year. AND ill put money on that!!!http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[trwi7]

My bet: He stays with the Giants.

[RyDogg66]

Oakland A's.

[Weirdos19]

If the Yanks trade Sheffield, pencil him in there.

 

My prediction? Oakland or Anaheim.

[Nader Raider Tim]

I am going retirement... I don't think that any team will offer him a "fair" price in his mind so he will have to walk away or go back to San Fran for pennies on the dollar.

[aracko]

Mariners

[KCBrewerfan34]

I predict Bonds will be going to the land of the DH, my bet whichever California team offers the most.

[jackalope02ca]

He will become a bitter old man when no one offers him what he feels is fair.

 

No one will sign him unless he is willing to play for a fraction of what he's been making. I think we will see some collusion on this one.

[sbrylski]

Either of the Florida teams.

 

I'm kidding, by the way.

[mothershipconnection]

The Astros or Rangers. Houston's offense frickin' sucked, and they have a gigantic boatload of payroll coming off the books this winter, allowing them to spend spend spend. Plus, they do not seem averse to signing aging players. Texas is always looking to spend money on offense, and could allow him to DH. With Mench/Lee gone as well as Matthews probably testing free agency, I could see them looking for offense in Bonds.

Milwaukee Brewers. 1 yr 1 mill with an additional 12 million in performance incentives. You'd do it, wouldn't ya? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Nader Raider Tim]

Heck, he probably would be defensive upgrade over Carlos Lee/ Kevin Mench. (kidding by the way, only partially)

[endaround]

1) Angels--Moreno wants to make a splash and he has the money and the DH opening to do it.

 

2) Yankees-They could use a DH

 

3) Giants-still possible and would clearly take him back at the right price

 

4)Orioles-because they'll overpay for someone

 

Its really weird how there are three great but old hitters available this offseason in Bonds, Alou, and Sheffield. Some teams will get a great DH if they choose the one that can play 140+ games.

[pitchleague]

yeah, I'd guess the Angels or the Mariners. Oakland and Texas could be long shots.

[pogokat]

orioles or giants...

 

i think he'll stay in san fran...if he has to move to dh, i think it'll be the orioles...

[thefutureishere2006]

1)) Angels--have the payroll

2) Yankees---if they trade sheff

3) Orioles--will overpay

4) A's--not quite the money so i dont know

5) Giants--home sweet home

6) Tigers---please no.. i like detroit too much

[foamboy1]

Hmmmm....interesting topic.

 

I never figured this would actually happen. I felt the San Fran position was nothing more than a way of deflating his expectations and that they would end up re-signing him. I guess I still think that is the case, although Bonds has a ton of pride and may see San Fran as snubbing him.

 

It's an interesting off-season storyline.

 

I'll take San Fran.

[DatHoser]

The Yankees.

 

Big Stein wants a new DH just for the sake of change after another first round exit. He's also gotta be salivating at having a chance at a Yankee breaking the home run record. Ego will play a big factor on where BB signs.

I know you were kidding, but Bonds chasing the most coveted record in all of sports would put some butts in the seats for those teams, who desperately need help drawing fans to the park.

A's. Please do it, Billy.

[DSFastball55]

My money is also on Oakland.

[thefutureishere2006]

i know its unlikely but if bonds was a brewer.. i dont kno what i would think.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

I think it would be great if the Brewers signed this guy. We could put him on the bench and let him sit and rot so he has no chance in hell of beating out Hank Aarons homerun record.
