The Padres are displaying interest in free agent Barry Bonds, sources tell FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
Agent Jeff Borris won't confirm any specific interest in Bonds, but he's still trying to make it look like everyone wants him. "There are some teams that are being very aggressive in their pursuit of Barry and they're turning up the heat," Borris said. "There are teams that want answers and they want them quickly. There are some owners who have requested meetings with Barry." Bonds could be a huge asset in the middle of San Diego's lineup when healthy. However, if the Padres were really planning to sign him, keeping the right-handed-hitting Ben Johnson as a reserve would have made sense. Maybe they have plans for a superior fourth outfielder.
