Baer talked
about his excitement for Bond’s arrival at spring training with the team. “We
are delighted to welcome Barry back home to the Giants. As one of the greatest
players of all time, Barry’s contributions to our organization are legendary. He
joins Willie Mays, Willie McCover, Orlando Cepeda and other distinguished
alumni who help advise the club and we look forward to working with him again.”
Prior to
the 2017 season, Bonds spent his time with the Miami Marlins as the hitting
coach for the team. However, Bonds was eventually fired despite the Marlins
having the fourth-best batting average (.263) in the majors.
