If you’re looking for a disgruntled 43-year-old outfielder with bad knees and even a badder attitude, agent Jeff Borris has just the person for you.

Barry Bonds is still unemployed as the Major League Baseball trade deadline is approaching at the end of the month, naturally stirring up the rumors that one of the 30 MLB teams will pursue the home run king.

The Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Mets were two teams mentioned but both organizations denied it.

According to Borris, Bonds could be ready for action in just 10 days.

Too bad NOBODY is interested though:

“I am not talking to any club about Barry Bonds,” Borris said, “because they all made it very clear to me they are not interested in him. Every club.

“I can’t believe he doesn’t have a job. No one has offered even the minimum salary. He made the All-Star team last year, and there’s no reason to believe he wouldn’t have a repeat performance in 2008, except for the conspiracy against him.”

In 126 games last season, Bonds hit .276 with 28 home runs and 66RBIs with a .480 OBP.

Forget about the legal trouble and steroid allegations for a second – you’re telling me there is not a single team that couldn’t use an extra left-handed bat in the lineup?

Smells like collusion to me.
