If Alex Rodriguez sticks to his plan to hang up the cleats after the 2017 season, home run king Barry Bonds says there is no chance A-Rod will catch and pass him on baseball’s all-time home run list.
“No, not in two years,” Bonds told the Daily News Monday afternoon, prior to the series opener between the Mets and Marlins at Citi Field.
A-Rod’s current contract runs out after next season, and he would need to hit 74 home runs before then — assuming he doesn’t sign a new deal — to catch and tie Bonds, 75 to become baseball’s new home run king.
