If Bonds signs somewhere I fully expect him to be the Roger Clemens signing of this season. That is, he would get paid a boatload of money to play a portion of the season and would show what an over-the-hill superstar looks like when he’s been off the juice for awhile. Barry’s over.

I actually hope someone does sign him so he can humiliate himself.

@gonzo: Any price is ok if money is no object. The Yanks are really the only team to operate like that, though.

At some price level, the value Bond would offer would be less than his paycheck, and then you should go looking elsewhere. I say $10M is about that number, but it’s just a guess.

I heard callers on WFAN say today they would “stop being Mets fans” if the team signed Bonds.

Ummm, it’s a good signing no matter how much he is paid. His performance isn’t going to be different whether he is paid $5Mil, $10Mil or $15Mil.

I’m doing 30 more posts tomorrow about where Bonds could go.

“He would be a great fit in Montreal despite the fact that the team left more than 3 years ago.”

I love the way ESPN works. They throw out some bullshit like this. And then Monday they’ll debate it on all of their television and radio programs.

And they’ll introduce it with something like “Reports are surfacing that the Mets may be interested in Barry Bonds….”

I think in that lineup I’d put David Wright 3rd and Beltran 5th.

Like Bonds would hurt any team…

And I hear he does wonders for attendance.
