It took a couple of months, but the Giants now have a formal agreement that brings Barry Bonds back for 2007. The physical is done and Bonds will be paid just south of $16 million for 2007. If Bonds plays in 130 games and gets 493 plate appearances, then the deal becomes a $20 million one.
I don’t care what people say, but as Bonds gets closer to passing Aaron, people are going to show up at the ballpark. And as far as the money, the gate for those games late in the season should help pay Bonds salary as people show up to witness a piece of history when Bonds finally passes Hank Aaron on the all time homerun list. Of course the utlimate tribute would be for the team to help him win a championship. That would make for a great season.
