For a media that crucified Barry Bonds over the last few years, they sure are anxious for a team to sign him. Hideki Matsui may need surgery on his knee, and this quote by Cashman is the latest adding to the bonds hysteria:

"I would say any rampant speculation on us involving a player of that magnitude would be extremely premature," Cashman said. "I would caution everybody to not misunderstand that since I'm not saying no to it, that that means, `Oh my gosh, that that might be happening down the line.' It's not something we're focused on at this point. We're focused on getting Hideki Matsui back rather than, you know, what we're going to do if he's not back."
