 More Giants NewsBarry Bonds was very serious about signing with the Boston Red Sox back in 1992, writes the New York Times. "We never really got to the point of dollars with them," Lou Gorman, the Red Sox' general manager, said at the time. "He said it had to be six or seven years. We said we weren't interested at that length. I knew from previous conversations they were talking $7 million for seven years, actually more because they were talking the average of Sandberg's contract. But I told them we wouldn't go seven years. He said six. I said we wouldn't go six." Gorman, who is now an executive consultant with the Red Sox, recently recalled the moment and said Bonds' former agent Dennis Gilbert "talked about seven years, and I said we wouldn't go seven years." |
