Barry Bonds is being blackballed. Finally people are admitting this

[Don Jacob]

barry bonds is also like a million years old and wants a lot of money, who wants him on their team?

[thisoneguy360]

I don't know much about Giambi's situation but Pettite at least admitted it and didn't spend years and years denying it, plus Bonds is just old

[OG Hack Wilson]

its giambi's last year on his contract


pettitte's last year too but thats cuz he signed a 1 year

and after the steroids thing came to light you know the yanks were looking for a way out of Giambi's contract at the time.

they were, they tried to see if he breached his contract, but he didn't

its crazy, giambi looked like he was DONE without roids after his first month back in 2005, and then put up some monster numbers when june or july rolled around.

barry bonds isnt worth the distraction that he will cause a team..it just isnt.

He can still hit, but a team would be taking a major risk by bringing him on right now. The steroid drama has been lurking, and now there are rumors of a Stan Conte book that would indict Bonds. He is up there in years, he could be trying to demand a lot of money, and most teams that feel they have a chance at contending probably want to see what their players can do before they go with such a bold move. As far as the other players, they seemed to be under contracts, or didn't have as much legal action going on. I expect a team that is slow out of the gates to take a chance with him if it's for a low price, especially if his legal troubles find a resolution. The Giants simply don't expect to contend, so it worked for them to let him go.
