Yet another twist yesterday in the Barry Bonds contract saga. After the deal was announced, the commissioner's office voided based on some of the language in the deal. Officially, the commissioner's office had a problem with some language relating to personal appearances. The language in Bonds' deal contradicted that in the standard player contract which is included in the basic aggreement between the players union and the league.
This would have been a minor blip on the radar except that the Giants insisted on announcing that the deal also included language regarding cancellation if Bonds is indicted. This wouldn't have been a big deal except that Jeff Boras, Bonds' agent, decided to make a point of saying that the cancellation clause was unenforceable due to langue in the CBA. So what is it? Do contracts with language in violation of the CBA get voided or not?
Moreover, do sports really give a damn about what 3 lawyers think? Just tell of if this clown is going to play for the Giants or not. Let's not let Jeff Boras do his sales pitch for future clients through the media today.
