It has long been specualted and often reported that Barry bonds will not be asked to return to the San Franscisco Giants. Today Barry told us what we all have been waiting to hear .
“I was told by the Giants that they will not be bringing me back for the 2008 season. During the conversation Yesterday,with Peter Magowan 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.”
I’ve had the opportunity to play with some amazingly talented ballplayers who have treated me with respect, supported me and rooted for me throughout the years.
I would have loved nothing more than to retire as a Giant in the place where I call home and have shared so many momentous moments with all of you, but there is more baseball in me and I plan on continuing my career. My quest for a World Series ring continues. “
He ended his statement as only Barry can
“Until next time,
Barry Bonds”
Barry, If your reading. Fantasy Baseball is about production and value, will you be either next season?
