Could Bonds become a Yankee?

General Manager Brian Sabean recently commented that the Giants might be sellers come the July 31 trade deadline, and the possibility of Barry Bonds being traded isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

That spurned San Francisco Chronicle columnist Bruce Jenkins to at least toy with the notion Bonds would be traded and where he might go. Jenkins brought up the Indians, Tigers, A’s, Angels and Red Sox before squashing those teams for just one: the New York Yankees.

I doubt this would ever, ever, EVER happen because the Giants’ top brass (i.e. Peter Magowan and Larry Baer) are concentrating more on getting Bonds to pass Hank Aaron’s all-time home run record in a San Fran uniform than winning ball games. And if you question me on this, check out the Giants’ putrid lineup these days and then make note that they unexplainably have the 12th highest payroll in the league and next to nothing as far as young position players.

Regardless, could you imagine what the Yankee haters would do if Bonds does wind up in pinstripes? Nevertheless Yankee fans who hate Bonds? Lets hope for the sake of baseball and hell, the human race in general, this doesn’t happen.
