All-time MLB home run champion Barry Bonds is reportedly under "serious consideration" to serve as an additional hitting coach for the Miami Marlins.
Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reported Monday that the Marlins have been internally discussing the possibility of bringing Bonds aboard.
Heyman indicated incumbent hitting coach Frank Menechino is likely to return in 2016 and mentioned Juan Nieves as another top candidate for the spot on Miami's staff. If it brings Bonds aboard, the club will simply have two hitting coaches.
The Marlins could use some tutelage at the plate after ranking 29th in runs scored this past season.
