Won't this guy just GO AWAY?

With the MLBPA saying it will look into why he still hasn't received an offer, Barry Bonds is still ready and waiting by the phone, according to his agent.
"He's in playing shape right now. He just hasn't hit off live pitching," Jeff Borris said Tuesday. "I've had conversations with Barry. It would probably take him about two weeks to get ready." The MLBPA isn't singling out Bonds' case as part of its annual review of the free-agent market. However, Don Fehr is always on the lookout for possibilties of collusion. "We always look at the free-agent markets every year and make judgments about them, and if we come to the conclusion with respect to any player that there's a matter worth pursuing, we'll pursue it," he said. "But I'm not going to make any suggestions or accusations unless and until we come to that conclusion."

Seriously, just GO AWAY, Bonds. And, unbelievably, the Union is actually going to press his case? If memory serves, Bonds isn't even a member of the Union. Unless I'm mistaken, at his peak, Bonds didn't feel the need to even retain his Union membership. Bonds destroys everything he touches, so it's not exactly a stretch to say that each team came to the conclusion individually that he is toxic and would bring more negative than positive to the team.

But hell, just keep waiting by that phone, Bonds. If there is any justice out there in the cosmos, Bonds won't be signed by anyone.

Completely agree, this would have happened 2 years ago if the Giants hadn't been riding the money train to the home run record. He is the definiteion of clubhouse cancer. Thankfully the Reds already have their power hitting sub par defensive left fielder.

Fans wouldn't care if the team was winning. Some AL team really should take a shot with him, especially if they are running out some bench player in the DH slot. I think the Mariners should sign him, could be the difference between them winning the ALW and them staying home.

Bonds > Vidro

I just couldn't imagine rooting for him though. Bonds playing for my team? I'd be pissed. I've hated the guy for so long it'd be hard to root for him. If it were some other guy I hated and the Reds signed him I would easily start rooting for him. Bonds? Different story

I've heard the Rays may be interested after the loss of Rocco to injury....again.

i heard that too!

I thought that I heard that they were thinking about it but stopped any talks because they decided they didn't want that kind of clubhouse distraction/cancer/primadonna around all their young up and comers.

With his court date being pushed back to where it won't affect the 2008 season, someone is going to sign him. Probably at the deadline when needs can be assessed. Hes too good a hitter to not sign him as a DH to win a World Series. I'm just like all of you and wish he would just go away...but we know that isn't happening.
