Joe Posnanski wants the Royals to sign Barry Bonds:

You know what? I think they should do it Why not? They tried to trade for Milton Bradley last year. They signed Jose Guillen in the offseason. They've shown they're not afraid to take on a little attitude. Take away the emotions and steroid talk, and Barry Bonds is one of the three or four best players in the history of the game, he's on Mount Rushmoreno. I'm not saying he really WOULD come to Kansas City for the minimum (and give the money to kids for tickets!). I suspect that if it is Kansas City making the offer, he may suddenly have a lot of excuses ("Oh, I'd love to, but there's the spider web in the corner of my garage, and I've just GOT to get rid of that thing").

But if he's serious, I'd do it. Absolutely. Yes, the commissioner's office would howl behind the scenes (I suspect there is no way that Royals owner David Glass would ever do this ... he's close with Bud Selig). Other teams would grumble about the collusion that is really, really not happening. But I wouldn't care. Baseball has kicked the Royals in the teeth for about 20 years now. I would sign Barry Bonds. I would kick back.

I agree. As Joe says earlier in the article, Kansas City can use a circus.
