 More Giants NewsBarry Bonds, a free agent after this season, isn't planning to turn his pursuit of Hank Aaron into a farewell tour. "Don't think this will be my last season, as a Giant or in baseball," Bonds said after hitting his 754th career home run Friday night. Giants Managing Partner Peter Magowan declined comment when asked before the game about the prospect of re-signing Bonds for a 16th season, but he repeatedly has stated the team needs to get younger and head in a new direction. Magowan said something similar a day after the 2006 season, then re-signed Bonds to a one-year contract worth a guaranteed $15.6 million. It's believed that Sue Burns, the widow of Harmon Burns who inherited the largest stake in the club, made the strongest push to retain Bonds as a tribute to her late husband. Bonds said he isn't treating this season like it's his last in San Francisco. "My last season is every last year of my contract, and I've had a bunch of those seasons," he said. |
