MIAMI -- Steroids-tainted home run king Barry Bonds is returning to baseball full time as hitting coach for the Miami Marlins.
He'll join the staff of new manager Don Mattingly, the Marlins said Friday.
Bonds, 51, whose playing career ended in 2007, has worked in recent years as a guest instructor for the San Francisco Giants in spring training. He's the career leader in home runs with 762 and a seven-time NL MVP.
The Marlins are in the market for hitting advice. They finished next to last in the majors in runs in 2015, when they went 71-91.
