Barry Bonds News - If Anyone Cares

[baseballdave]

SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds was told by the San Francisco Giants that he won't play for them in 2008, he said on his website Friday.

In a statement, baseball's all-time home run leader said: "This journal will be one of my last entries as a San Francisco Giant. Yesterday, I was told by the Giants that they will not be bringing me back for the 2008 season.

"During the conversation with Peter McGowan, I was told that my play this year far exceeded any expectations the Giants had, but that the organization decided this year would be my last season in San Francisco," he said.

Bonds has spent the past 15 seasons of his 22-year big league career with the Giants. He received a $15.8 million, one-year contract for this season.

On Aug. 7, Bonds broke Hank Aaron's 33-year-old record with his 756th home run.

Detroit Will Love To Have Bonds He Is A Ghetto Man And This Is Where He Belongs..............detroit Here Comes Bonds

This has been pretty well know for sometime , The Giants wont pay that much to guy because they need to rebuild the team with youth. Cant blow a ton of money on a guy who is OLD as it just takes a way from what they will have to be to compete down the road...All the Bond hating aside its a smart baseball decision and the only logical one.

What possible value could he have?

No one but the San Fran fans like him

He is a horrible teammate

Whatever AL team takes him RIP for his tenure.
