According to a story on the San Jose Mercury News’ Web site, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa approached Bonds’ agent on Wednesday night and requested a meeting with the currently unemployed outfielder and owner of 734 career home runs.”I want to talk to your guy,” La Russa reportedly told Jeff Borris outside a steakhouse at the Walt Disney World resort where the meetings are being held. “Where is he? I want to talk to him.” – from ESPN.com
There is no way that the Cardinals sign Bonds. I’d bet my salary on it. On to other things…
It looks like it is Miguel Batista or bust for the rotation hole. Look for the deal to happen in the next two days.
Luis Gonzalez got 7.5 million from the Dodgers. Thanks for bidding him up, Walt. We didn’t need him at that price.
If Batista isn’t signed by the Cards, possibilities via trade are Brad Penny and Jon Lieber, but probably not Mark Buehrle, since the Sox have already traded away Freddy Garcia. Walt will probably find someone nobody have even thought of yet.
