This is not at all sad for me to type at all. After reading a report today that his agent said that no team wants to employ Bonds, I suddenly felt happy.

 Bonds was never a team player. His time in Pittsburgh was me first and he proved that by bolting to San Francisco where the money was. He was on a winning team in Pittsburgh to spend 14+ years in San Francisco making it to the World Series once and losing.

 I think what makes me happy seeing him out of baseball is that how greedy he is still being. He doesn't care what team he'd play for, he just wants to play and jack more home runs. I think the message being sent to him is clear. You got your home run record, now leave the sport of baseball alone.

Whether the steroids allegations play a part in this or not, I do not think it matters. GMs want players who are willing to play for the team instead of themselves.

I agree. Lots of good points.

However, if "GMs want players who are willing to play for the team instead of themselves" then why do we have these ridiculous contracts out there? $100+million doesn't sound like "team" to me.

Just priming the pump......

Agree, and take Posada with you.

I actually wanted to see him come back.
If just out of curiousity to see how he does...and to hear him get booed out of so many parks.
Can't stand the guy...but his at-bats were always more exciting than most.
