Source: Bonds-Yankees Deal Imminent

Embattled former Giants slugger Barry Bonds has entered into formal contract negotiations with the Yankees, and a consummation of the deal is anticipated forthwith, a confidential clubhouse source told MLBNewsOnline.com.

The incentive-laden deal, being hammered out between Bonds' agent Jeff Borris and general manager Brian Cashman, will well exceed the major league $200,000 minimum but has a number of protective clauses to isolate the Yankees' exposure to the possibility of Bonds missing time due to legal distractions or recurring injury, the source said.

Cashman was reported to have arrived at the decision to sign Bonds during the All-Star break when he determined that the all-time home run leader would be needed to replace injured left fielder Hideki Matsui, who is out indefinely with a knee injury. Cashman was persuaded largely because the team will not have to sacrifice any coveted prospects who had been targeted by various other potential trading partners.

Bonds faces a perjury indictment but is not schedule for trial until March and Borris has assured the team that barring other unforeseen entanglements his client is unencumbered and ready to play.

nice piece of gossip to discuss. i have no idea if this website is reliable or not...but i call BS...

Why? What the ****? Are the Yankees TRYING to be the most hated team in the majors? I can never root for Barroid in my life.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I saw it as a rumor article several days ago. I have absolutely no respect for this punk and if they brought his ass on over, I'd definately end my support of the Yankees and anything else I have left over of baseball. HELL NOOOOOOO!!!
I'll never trust this' team again.

They were talking about this on fox sports if I'm not mistaken. I saw "bonds to the yankees?" while I was at the gym......sound was off though.

What would you hate more winning the playoffs with Barry on the team or watching other teams win in the playoffs? It sucks that we're even in such a desperate position.

Believe me, I'd rather not make the playoffs, if it meant keeping this guy away.

Tell me about it.

Barry Bonds is far from clutch and even though he's the homer king.......he's a career loser and ****ty playoff performer.

Yanks need some more hitting and Bonds is still Bonds....Giambi, Bonds and arod? Looks like a twisted episode of the biggest loser......yet if Bonds won one finally for us? It would be magical.

Man, I want the last game at Yankee Stadium to be in the WS, not capping off an 83 win season.
