Agent: MLB blackballing Bonds
Forget about Barry Bonds signing with the Tampa Bay Rays. And forget about the players' union filing a collusion grievance on Bonds' behalf anytime soon. Bonds' agent, Jeff Borris, said Friday that Rays general manager Andrew Friedman failed to respond to a text message he sent this week inquiring about the team's possible interest in Bonds. "With (Carl) Crawford and (Evan) Longoria going down simultaneously, I thought I'd make one last vain attempt to reach out to Tampa Bay, and to no avail," Borris told FOXSports.com. "That's because Major League Baseball has been successful in their pursuit in blackballing Barry out of the game."

If black balling means that no team wants an aging injury prone slugger with a monumental ego who everyone hates..... then yes..... he's black balled.....

It's because his first name starts with a B right? C'mon, whats the excuse? Is it because baseball is racist? Not against blacks, but against STEROID USERS!!!

I'm sure Barry will be the star of the prison team after he is convivted of perjury. Of course he may be blackballed there as well.

MLB is full of hypocrites. Barry Bonds is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. If they can show a positive test then by all means proceeds with the "blackballin" . But until then, they need to stop with the Bull. Barry put butts in seats.

don't need a test. HE said he took the clear, he just didn't think it was steroids.

OK now what about the rest of the league? How much you wanna bet if some team needed a gun for hire at the end of the season, Roger Clemmons be considered an option?

This could be a very good time for the Rocket to slip back in pine stripes while the true focus of all THINGS STEROID are back in the Bondsville ...
