Is this really true?

bonds was reported as saying "I dont care about the money, I just want a ring"

hmmmm.....where have we heard that before????

YEAHHHH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
BONDS IS NOT FIT TO WEAR PINSTRIPES!!! YOUR KILLING ME GEORGIE!! i heard a rumor too,, i heard kenny Rogers (not the singer for those who don't know bb players)
Is gonna sell the bucket of pinetar he has stashed in his locker on ebay, What else can he do with it? Tigers aren't goona make the playofffs!!! All in good fun Georgie,,all in good fun!! :)))))))))))))) Gotta loveeeeeeeeeeee the Chainberlain!!!!!!!!!

The NYY can be stupid but they are not that stupid given the Gumby's sort of admission he did 'roids.

haha i havent heard that and thats a horrible rumor. 30 mill no1 gets paid except a rod cause hes hitting 50 homers lol but bonds is old dead and retired. Yanks dont need an OF they have 4 great ones(including melky). They should spend 30 million on 5 good pitchers.

He is not that much of an asset, he is more of a liability, he's definitely not a team player, the Yankees don't need that jerk.

That 30 million is going to A-Rods 50million a year contract you heard wrong.

You think he'd be negotiating next year's contract during the season, while he's under contract to another team, and talk about it in the media?
So, not likely.

there is absolutely no truth to this rumor. The Yankees want so much to get out of the steroids shadow I have no doubt if they could get rid of Giambi they really would.

The Yankees would never want Bonds. If that happens I might kill myself. Or even worse..Become a Red Sox fan. Ewwwwww. Never mind. Staying a Yankee fan it is.

Edit : Youre completley wrong fool. It was a 10 year 150 million dollar deal. Similar to Alfanso Soriano and Barry Zito. Bonds would be 52 and hit his 1,000 home run in Pinstipes. Yea!

Teams can't negotiate with palyers still under contract. He can't sign with anyone until after the World Series is over so this is BS.

This would be an amazing move for the Yankees if they want to actively pursue keeping A-rod. How do you quiet the fans hating a player for any reason? Bring in someone who's hated even more. I love it!

Well, he's also rumored to be going to Anaheim with A-Rod.

While I dont doubt that the Yankees are high in the running of who's going to land Bonds, I dont think they'll pay $30mil for a DH.

Especially when they're already paying $23mil for a DH this year.

That would be awesome though if they replaced the guy who "did the right thing" regarding steroids [Giambi], with Bonds who is regarded as the polar opposite. It would pretty much sum up the mentality of baseball fans..."Barry sucks...but we'll take him as a DH".

I didn't hear it.

I think it would be fitting for ol Barry to have a little stint with the Yanks.

No, you are wrong. Yankess upgraded the offer from 1 year to 6 and changed the 30 to 45.

I would laugh my *** off if he ended up across the bay in Oakland as a wuss DH and bring his career (whimpering and whining) to a close. they were interested last free agent season.

No way. The Yankees don't want trouble makers on their team. They don't need that jerk. Nobody does. I know San Francisco, is not gonna have him back, but the Yankees have too much class and Integrity. I know you are just pulling our leg. 'The Boss' wouldn't go near an idiot like that. I can promise you that. Bond's is a playin' has been'. I just wish he was a 'never was'.

You know what's funny about this? If the Yankees had actually contacted Bonds or his agent about a contract in 2008, that would be tampering because Bonds is still under contract with the Giants, therefore the Yankees would be breaking a league rule and subject to penalties. So I'd say that your rumor is a lie.
Plus the dude is finished. I wouldn't pay him $30k, let alone $30m.

who ever told u that is nuts no one is going to sign him. hes a thousand years old cant play field and can barely hit. the yanks aren't that stupid there are a lot of other free agent outfielders after the years end they will get sum one better then bonds. i bet the royals wouldn't even sign him

If that is true, it is typical of Bonds, selfish SOB just all about himself. That is why Giant still suck with his homeruns. But in reality, why would New York waste the money to have a washed out player to be on the team.

I will definitely hate Yankees more if they did that. Just because it is a stupid waste of money and they could get better not so selfish players.

wow sounds like reggie miller?

it is probably true, they have the money to do that. it seems like they like to get old guys that are near the end of their careers so it is probably true.

in my question it wa 45 mil.

NO, I heard he'll Play for the Oakland A's.

we dont want that piece of scum.......no way must be a rumor

The Yankees are the right team for his attitude.

There's no room for Bonds in NY. What's he going to do, take Matsui's place in left field, or Giambi's DH, 1B spot? I don't think so.

wft the team is trying to get younger not older

Wow! Now you cheer for the Indians? So you really ARE a band wagoner. I KNEW IT!


Avatar Bet? Hahaha. Nice Try.

If Barry Bonds want to sign with a winning team, then he needs to look nowhere else, but the Yankees. I dont know if I will like that scumbag playing for NYY, but who I am to tell Stein B who to pay or who not to pay.

That means I will have to stop booing him, since I never boo the Yankees. I stick with em, even if they are losing, unlike some band wagon Tigers fans who are now Indian fans. :-P

Not by a long shot. Smaller market teams will take him.

...go home & "sleep it off"!!!

go ahead another loser going to another loser team i say go for it
