Padres interested in Barry Bonds*?

[DirtyKash]

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.

why? dont do San Diego. I would love it if not one team signed him. Leave his "steroid" butt in second place behind Hammerin' Hank, severe him right!

Just makes me want to vomit..... I'll be kicked out of many games in 07 if we sign him.....and lose my faith in this organization right away.... My entire family also wont recognize the sham of a record he'd claim in a Padre jersey....

What a horrible idea.....thank god the A's are about to lose Thomas....if that happens, Bonds in Oakland makes the most sense....keep him close to Balco Ind.

Bonds shouldnt even be allowed to participate in the League next year.

Vomit vomit vomit

[brewersfan19]

if you and the rest of true and smart baseball fans can't vomit over the possibility of Bonds playong anywhere next year, then take your head and do this then

VOMIT VOMIT VOMIT

[McKain]

I want Bonds to hit 88 homeruns this year.

[padrefanforever]

I want to be at the game where his knee folds backwards

[HollywoodLeo]

So, if we sign him will nobody be able to stand in the standing room only section behind the fence in left field the entire season?

[padrefanforever]

I hope all of 126-138 rain crap on him all year long if he comes here.....we should become "battery chuckers" like the No'cal's, in answer to this blasphemous signing.....if it were to happen that is

[HollywoodLeo]

It was speculated on another forum that this is simple posturing to try and drive up the price the Giants would have to eventually pay him.

Sounds like a plausible theory.

I don't think Padres management would be stupid enough to sign him, it would be a horrible PR move.

If KT signs him, I hope someone downs there shoots him in the family jewls and I hope every pitcher throws at his knees, no matter what team he is on, the guy is a cheating loser, who probably could have been something, but he screwed that up trying to keep up with Sosa and McGwire.

I think there is no possibility of this happening. I do think it is a ploy to try and drive the price up on Bonds. I just don't think the Giants are willing to pay.

That'd require incredible aim.
