New York Yankees want Barry Bonds
You can't possibly put it simpler than that.
As the 2008 MLB baseball season enters the halfway point, teams are clamoring for any last possible move that may probably improve their roster a little bit more before Thursday's trading deadline gets here.
And as far as the New York Yankees are concerned, they already have their eyes set on one guy that may fill the void injured sluggers Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada left.
Who is it? Since they're missing two of the best hitters in their team, the Yankees are planning to sign probably the best hitter in the game. I'm referring to the indicted home run king, Barry Bonds people and whether you like him or not, the combination of Bonds and the Yankees have ''World Series contenders'' written all over it.
Sure, Bonds at 44 years of age can't possibly have that big of an impact to an already established team like the Yankees. After all, it is already too late into the season to sign the former San Francisco Giants slugger anyway. But hey, Thursday's deadline is still a few days away and ANYTHING is still possible.
Bonds in pinstripes could also mean more asses seated around Yankee Stadium. After all the controversies that has surrounded the guy throughout his career in baseball, he has become one of those commodities you would love to have on your team if you want to sell a butt-load of tickets.
The Yankees certainly don't want their rivals Boston Red Sox to beat them in signing Bonds right?
For now, the Bronx bombers are open to adding anything that can further improve their team. They are already playing great so far and adding a guy like Bonds wouldn't hurt them at all.
''We're playing great. That's the key thing,'' Yankees chairman Hank Steinbrenner said. ''Considering we're not 100 percent because of the injuries, it's pretty impressive. Where we can add, we'll look into it.''
