Barry Bonds filed for free agency Monday on the first possible day after the World Series ended with Boston's sweep of the Colorado Rockies on Sunday night. That means the slugger's tenure with San Francisco is now over. Giants owner Peter Magowan told him last month the club would not bring him back for a 16th season.

Barry Bonds was asked on Wednesday if he would ever consider buying into an organization and helping run it, he said that if he were a decision-maker with the Giants, he could guarantee their first World Series title since they came to San Francisco in 1958.
"I know the game so well, I can see talent, I know exactly what I'd be looking for," Bonds said.

Barry Bonds is just a tad bit bitter about his departure from the Giants.
The 43-year-old home run king heard a long list of his accomplishments read during a special speaking forum Wednesday night hosted by the Commonwealth Club, then was asked by KGO Radio host Ray Taliaferro if he'd really reached all those feats.
Fourteen All-Star game selections. A record seven NL MVPs. Eight Gold Glove awards.
"I did, and then I got fired," Bonds told a group of about 450 people in the audience. "Shame on me, huh?"
Bonds, who broke Hank Aaron's home run record with No. 756 on August 7, was told last month by Giants' owner Peter Magowan that he would not be brought back for a 16th season in San Francisco.
