Barry Bonds, one of the greatest sluggers in MLB history, is facing more criticism than anyone in America. With a possible federal indictment headed his direction, does MLB want Barry Bonds to retire in the sunset.

In four days, San Francisco Giant Barry Bonds will turn 42 years old. Over the last couple of years, Bonds has been hampered by injury, and a key person of interest in the Balco steroid investigation. After this season, it appears to be a certainty that Bonds will not be a member of the San Francisco Giants.

Baseball appears to moving beyond Barry Bonds. Take a look at the All-Star Game, or the advertisements of baseball players of today. MLB has been careful to promote the future of the game. Bonds appears to be on the verge of being charged with perjury, in regards to the Balco investigation and tax evasion. Maybe, MLB is leaving Bonds out to dry, so that the slugger decides to retire.
