Barry Bonds will rejoin the San Francisco Giants as a special advisor to the CEO, the team announced Tuesday.
Bonds, 52, MLB’s all-time home run leader, won four of his seven MVP awards with the Giants as a player and set the record for home runs in a season there, becoming one of the most decorated players in franchise history. His playing legacy has been tainted by his central role in baseball’s steroids scandal, but after returning to baseball as the Marlins’ hitting coach last season, Bonds will return to the Giants organization working alongside CEO Larry Baer.
