The Kerry Bonds combo meal, which is named as a playful nod to Carpenter’s growing reputation as a home run threat, included two signature Savvy Sliders topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and the famous Savvy Signature sauce, a side of seasoned crinkle fries and your choice of a drink or hand-spun chocolate custard shake, which is the long-ball players favorite.

The Kerry Bonds combo will be available at all participating Savvy Sliders locations across Michigan starting July 1, 2025, for a limited time this summer.

The limited-edition meal will be $11.99 (with the drink option) or $14.99 (with the hand-spun custard chocolate shake option).

Fans can meet him. Even though this exclusive meal does not launch in stores until July 1, for that day only and at the designated location, fans will have the opportunity to be the first to purchase and try the Kerry combo.

Savvy Sliders locations across Michigan will be carrying the exclusive Kerry Bonds combo meal for a limited time only.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking; the play on words is, in fact, a nod to Major League Baseball’s home run king, Barry Bonds (762).

Bonds hit the most home runs in a single season with 73, which was set in 2001.

He also has the record for the most walks and intentional walks in a career, season, and in consecutive games.

Like Bonds used to do back in his heyday, Carpenter has been blasting homers this season for the Tigers, who have the best record in baseball at 47-27.

This season, Carpenter is hitting .260 with 61 hits, 27 RBI, and 13 home runs.

The 27-year-old, for his career, is averaging .276 with 57 home runs.
