Barry Bonds is returning to the team with which he had his greatest success as a slugger, joining the San Francisco Giants as a special adviser, the team announced Monday.
Bonds will assist Giants CEO Larry Baer and join the team at spring training beginning Wednesday.
"We are delighted to welcome Barry back home to the Giants," Baer said in a statement. "As one of the greatest players of all time, Barry's contributions to our organization are legendary. He joins Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda and other distinguished alumni who help advise the club and we look forward to working with him again.
