Hey Barry! How's it going? We here at the The Barry Bonds Trial blog have not been on summer vacation. We have been doing a lot of research to see if an offer from an MLB team is coming your way.
Unfortunately, the bad news continues.
In Denver, they are calling you a has-been (article). The Braves Baseball Fan blog says that they don't want you. An L.A. Angels blog says "no." And even your own agent, Jeff Borris, says that you won't play - in the minors that is.
What's the leading home run hitter to do?
Well, we don't have an answer, unfortunately (yet).
However, your lovely Aunt Rosie does. She sends her love and she says its the owners fault and a few other things.
Take care, Barry.

A selection of Barry Bonds' comments regarding PED use:
- "Doctors ought to quit worrying about what ballplayers are taking. What players take doesn't matter. It's nobody else's business. The doctors should spend their time looking for cures for cancer. It takes more than muscles to hit homers. If all those guys were using stuff, how come they're not all hitting homers?" -- May 21, 2002, Associated Press
- "No. I don't have to [use steroids]. I mean, I'm a good enough ballplayer as it is. I don't need to be any better. I can't get any better at this age." -- June 2002, On the Record with Bob Costas
- "I never asked. When he said it was flaxseed oil, I just said, 'Whatever.' It was in the ballpark.. in front of everybody. I mean, all the reporters, my teammates, I mean they all saw it. I didn't hide it." -- Dec. 4, 2003, during grand jury testimony, according to the San Francisco Chronicle
- "I don't know Tim Montgomery. I've never met him. When accusations come from someone you don't even know, what can you do?" They'll be talking to my lawyer." -- June 25, 2004 to USA TODAY in response to allegations from a former world-class sprinter that he received steroids from BALCO
- "All you guys lied! All of y'all and the story have lied. Should you have asterisks behind your name? All of you lied. All of you have said something wrong. All of you have dirt. When your closet's clean, then come clean somebody else's." -- Feb. 22, 2005, first public comments after testimony was leaked
- "I don't know if steroids are going to help you in baseball. I just don't believe it. I don't believe steroids can help eye-hand coordination [and] technically hit a baseball." -- Feb. 22, 2005, first public comments after testimony was leaked
- "You wanted me to jump off the bridge; I finally have jumped. You wanted to bring me down, you've finally brought me and my family down. You've finally done it. So now go kick a different person. I'm done. I'll do the best I can and that's about it. [I'm talking about] inner hurt. I'm physically, mentally done. I'm mentally drained. Tired of my kids crying." -- March 23, 2005 on MLB
- "I went through the system. And that's what it is. And that's what I got. I went through the system. I'm in an appeal process right now. I was never convicted of steroids. Do I have any regrets? What happened happened. It's there. It is what it is. I live with it. I'm a convicted felon for obstruction of justice, and that's who I am. I live with it." -- May 29, 2012
- "I gave my life and soul to that game. That's what's heartbreaking. That's the hard part of it." -- May 30, 2012 on MLB
- "Not winning? [the 2002 World Series] It doesn't stick with me anymore. Right now, it's just good to see everyone and have a good time. Win or lost, it's nice just to come home and reminisce with each other." -- July 1, 2012
- "Oh, without a doubt. There's not a doubt in my mind." -- August 6, 2012

it is so easy for you guys to dismiss the talent and intellect of a black baseball player, but the reality is he has more physical talent than anyone in the game and his ability to read pitchers is what made him such a deadly hitter. No designer drug can make you have bat speed or read ball movement stupid. It is so hard to admit this guys maybe one of the smartest hitters and players of all time it just kills ya. Now Ryan Howard is the new star of the park the next time you want to hate on a black player maybe you should look back in history and wish, hey maybe we shouldn't have breed human beings, and after 350 years of it now you got the real supermen of this world.
