Report: Barry Bonds loses collusion case

After pursuing a collusion case against Major League Baseball, an arbitrator has ruled against Barry Bonds, who believed the league owners conspired against him to keep him from playing after the 2007 season.

This ruling was first brought to light by Jon Heyman of CBS Sports and was later confirmed by Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Bonds had an outstanding year in 2007 playing for the San Francisco Giants. He hit 28 home runs, had a .480 on-base percentage and a 1.045 OPS. Therefore when he couldn’t land a job with any team the following year, Bonds came to the conclusion that the league owners colluded against him from finding work.
