Bonds to the Yankees?
MLB Rumors runs an anonymously sourced story that Bonds is about to sign with the Yankees. I don't know about this. With Posada still not throwing well, the Yankees need him to DH somewhat. Would they stick Barry in leftfield?
Stay tuned.

Apparently they have just reached a tentative agreement with Mr. Sexson, so would this make signing Bonds unlikely? It seems as they are were looking for a slugger for cheap. Not that Sexson is really all that great a slugger anymore...
He's very unlikely to be an adequate Matsui replacement. But, he's cheap, and I guess maybe he could be platooned (and the Bombers do need guys who can hit lefties).
