The re-signing of Barry Bonds appears to be closer, according to the SF Giants website. Bonds was in San Francisco Monday for a physical.
Still, until the t's are crossed and the i's are dotted, there's no deal.
Will he pass the physical? Can he pass the physical?
For a guy his age (42) with the physical problems he's experienced the last two seasons, it would appear to be a split decision. For the Giants to sign him again, he'd have to be back close to prime condition.
Chances of that? We'd say unlikely.
But Barry has surprised us before. Maybe he is.
For the Giants' sake, let's hope so ... if the signing is to go forward.
If not, let's put him behind us quickly and move ahead into the season.
Update: The San Francisco Chronicle reports the Bonds' contract, pending his passing the physical, will keep Barry's entourage out of the clubhouse. So no personal trainers, no guys to help with the stretching. In fact, he won't have the multiple lockers he's had before. For $16 mil, though, he can buy a locker room.
