Nice move for the Dodgers. If all goes well for them, they will be tough to beat. They seem to be putting together a nice balanced team together next year!

Baseball Prospectus says the deal is not quite finalized yet:

Schmidt said he received a phone call from a San Francisco teammate.
"Barry (Bonds) just called me. He's like, 'You're leaving me? I can't believe you're leaving me.' I told him, 'I have to.' We had fun with it," Schmidt said. "We got to be pretty good friends while I was in San Francisco."
How will he pitch Bonds?
"Very carefully, of course," Schmidt said.
