Barry Come Home
Brian Sabean makes it clear the Giants want to sign Barry Bonds:
"I don't know where the story line came from that we didn't want him back," Giants general manager Brian Sabean said Monday at the winter meetings. "We've had a long-standing conversation and offer out there that we've adjusted a number of times. Because we were pursuing other players didn't mean we weren't interested in Barry. We're trying to put the best team on the field and sign other people also. I guess it was misconstrued the other way."
I guess so. Maybe Brian shouldn't have taken so long to clear up the matter. Or maybe after all the other good hitters were signed, the Giants decided they needed Barry.
Well, according to Steve Phillips, Boston's going to trade Manny and then be interested in Bonds.
Or maybe Phillips is an idiot hack? Hmm...which could it be...
