Even if Barry Bonds shows up on time to spring training Monday, he likely won't practice with the team until he signs his contract.

The San Francisco slugger is not on the Giants' 40-man roster, which currently stands at 39 after catcher Mike Matheny went on the voluntary retirement list with a concussion. If Bonds signs his deal, he would fill that open spot.

Yet Bonds' $15.8 million, one-year contract is unresolved because of contract language. Technically, he's still a free agent and not under the Giants' control.
