This NPB stuff is nonsense. If Bonds would just sign with an independent minor league team and rake for a couple weeks, some MLB team would sign him, guaranteed. This NPB stuff is nonsense.

He's already said he'd play for the minimum in the US and I bet he'd play for cheap in Japan. If he's willing to come to Japan I think it's a no brainer to sign him. I tend to think Japanese fans would be respectful -- at least to start. I get the feeling Bonds just really wants to play for someone.
