The firing of Barry Bonds was announced Monday after one season as the Marlins hitting coach. It turns out Don Mattingly is the reason he was fired.
Reports are the Marlins manager was prepared to walk if Bonds wasn't let go.
It seemed like an odd pairing to begin with, so it's not all that surprising he wanted him gone. Not to mention Barry's reputation as a dick when he was a player.
