    Who will sign Josh Hamilton?

    Yankees? I think most likely.

    his continued fight for sobriety will have to be factored in, in his decision i'd think. Maybe staying put where he has some roots and connections? maybe near to home home? but then maybe not. Staying away from places where he'll face more temptation and pressure might be wise? Who has the $ available? i'm sure he'll want 6 years or something, which will pay him past his 37th birthday

    I have no idea myself, but just throwing out some ideas

    Yankees arent signing him

    The kids dont spend money like the old man

    Whoever signs him is taking a huge risk in regards to him relapsing

    Would think whatever team signs him will have a clause to void contract if something goes sideways

    Will the union allow that?

    Red Sox, they unloaded major salary to be in a position to sign Hamilton.

    Since when is money a factor? Must be the only multimillionaire sportsman who's wife only allows him out of the house with no more than $5 in his pocket.

    He should go back to the Reds

    Would hit 70 homers in that park if he stays on steroids next year

    He absolutely will not be re-signed by Texas. Nolan has had enough of his drama queen shit, as have most of the local fan base.

    Him and his wife are pretty trashy. They're only interested in signing for the top dollar.

    Time for him to hit the bricks, and get the fukk out of here.

    I dont think he will get a monster 200+ million dollar deal

    Something has obviously gone wrong with the guy this year.

    If the Rangers are that disenchanted with him they might leak it in the offseason. Will scare a lot of teams away

    I can only hope that he stays clean and the Seattle Mariners sign him. They have quite a bit of money in their reduced salary limitations. With the fences moved in a little next year, he would flourish.

    IF he stays off the juice.

    Big risk here obviously. Figured he would want to continue to hit a hitter's park. Reds sound good on paper

    my guess is that he gets like a 3 year deal somewhere for like 15 mil a year. no way he gets the 200m deal.

    Detroit.

    they love signing big hitters that can't play D and have substance abuse problems.

    in all seriousness it worked out with miguel cabrera.

    his agent is asking $20-$25M/year for a 5-6 year deal. $25-$30M/year for a 3-4 year deal.

    Yeah so he can bat in the 3 spot between Ackley and Seager Unless the Mariners offer 25MM per year he wouldn't come up here.
