Barry Bonds claims that he is not going to retire and that he wouldn't mind signing a contract midseason, according to comments made to MLB.com on Tuesday night.

"I'm not going to retire. I don't think that's going to happen," he said. "I'm working out, I'm training. If my phone rings, it rings, if it don't, it don't. I have a cell phone. I have a Blackberry. They work. If something comes up, I'm sure they'll let me know. I'll come back in July if I have to. It depends on the circumstances."
