"A prominent athlete who is a friend of Barry Bonds recently told me baseball’s all-time home run king, now living in Los Angeles, has made it known he would love to sign with the first-place Angels.

Don’t worry, Angels fans.

There’s no chance the Angels will sign the indicted free-agent slugger this season, even if there was a sudden glut of injuries and he offered to DH for free.

Angels owner Arte Moreno made that clear during an appearance last week on HBO Sports’ latest episode of “Costas Now,” a town hall meeting in New York in which Bob Costas presided over a panel discussion as past and present major leaguers, coaches and club officials debated hot-button issues.

During a segment on the state of the game, Costas asked Moreno if anyone would sign Bonds.

“I can’t speak for the other owners, but I will not sign Barry Bonds,” Moreno said, adding the Angels are committed to strengthening their organization “from within.”"
