when he was the best player in the league (ignoring the enhanced or not part) you could put up with all of the distractions that come with him.
Now that he is only a very good hitter, his output simply isn't worth all that goes with him. I think the only teams he would make sense for are AL teams that are close and could use his bat in the playoffs, so maybe the Yankees, Red Sox or Angels.

If he were to play it would be DH. But, The Yanks and Red Sox, no. Red Sox have Ortiz (who you really dont want in the field either. Yanks, have Matsui. ANd either Nady or Swisher will be thrown to the bench. I dont see Yankees going after anymore bats unless they can play regular CF.
Angels, I dont know about their situation at DH.
