In 1997, Bonds signed a contract extension with the Giants that maintained (at the time) his highest salary in the game. It was chump change, about 10 million a year, which was soon eclipsed.

At the time, the Rockies had record attendance and a strong offensive team. The steroid explosion did not hit either.

Using hand-wavium, what if the Rockies dug deep into their pockets and signed Bonds to complement Larry Walker? Their attendance and ratings would have been able to pay for the signing. With a POD like Bond's mistress becoming public knowledge in San Francisco or something that angers him on a personal level, he decides to leave San Francisco.

What would his stats be? Would he still juice, given that his motivation allegedly was being ignored while Sosa and McGwire got tons of attention?
