Barry Bonds made a few comments on his future at a recent speech. As usual, Barry’s comments seemed kind of weird. He was asked whether he’d play for the Giants for $5MM, and replied:
I told Peter Magowan that if I’m a part-time player, I’m still better than your full-time player, and it’s a wise idea to keep me. There’s still time. Things might change.
Hmm. OK. I don’t think that really means anything. I won’t believe the Giants are leaving the door open until I hear it from them. And Bonds never answered the $5MM question.
Meanwhile, Bonds associate and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal opined that the home run king might retire this winter. Bonds said a month ago that he plans on continuing his career.
