i just heard on ESPN that Barry Bonds and the Giants have worked out a one year $16 million deal

im glad he is staying there, they deserve each other

I doubt there was ever any serious interest from anyone else.

I hoped nobody would offer him a deal. When he gets enough home runs, it's going to be so awkward.

Because who wants to see the guy break Henry Aaron's record? If he does it on the road, he'll be boo'd. If he does it at home, he'll be cheered but everyone will know it's all taintend. And all the bad publicity it will bring the game, I'm sure Selig wished Bonds would've just retired. It opens up a large can of worms.

Bonds will hit a maximum of 15 homers next year, and he's being payed $16 million. That's more then a million per long ball. What a ridiculous waste of money....

I was really hoping nobody would sign him.

Quoted for truth.

Yet another season when Giants fans will have to wait around until the team can start rebuilding. Until they dump Bonds, they can't start being competitive again, which is just pathetic in such a weak division.
