    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.

                                Red Sox are very likely to sign him.

                                    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.

                                            Brewers....His best buddy is a coach on the staff. He will sign a 1 year 1 millions dollar 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.

                                                    he would set a homerun record with that short porch in rightfield.

                                                      Its sad to see him struggle, he better get it together and start thinking about 10-20 years down the road...I hope he has been saving

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