Believe it or not, Barry Bonds may be signed in the following months. The Oakland Athletics are reportedly considered the favorites to sign Bonds. The SF Gate quoted on MLB Exec as saying, "There is no doubt in my mind that Oakland will sign Bonds, I'd be shocked if it didn't happen."

The article points out that Bonds may not go on trial until after the 2008 baseball season. Plus, any potential missed game-time due to legal issues would be factored into the deal. And any possible conviction during the contract would void the deal.

I wonder if there would be any fan backlash if the A's sign him.

If all ends are covered, why not? I mean I wouldnt want him on the Braves, but no reason he shouldnt play somewhere if everything checks out..

He might need some sort of prison furlow to get to the games, though.
