Dusty Baker throws shade at Bonds, says if you want speed get Latin or African-American players

[spoonfed]

Highlights from Dusty Baker’s media session

On whether he considered Barry Bonds as his hitting coach…
“No. Rick Schu is my batting coach. Plus I don’t think our organization is going to pay Barry or anybody else as much as [the Marlins] are paying Barry. Plus, I had Barry for 10 years. That’s enough.”

What specifically have you told the front office you’d like that you don’t have yet?

“You’re always in need of left-handed pitching, left-handed hitting, and in need of speed. I think that’s the No. 1 thing that’s missing, I think, in the game is speed. You know, with the need for minorities, you can help yourself. You’ve got a better chance of getting some speed with Latin and African-Americans. I’m not being racist. That’s just how it is.”

He gonna get a lot of folks heated this season.

How is that shade???

Thought it sounded like he had enough of Barry after putting up with him for 10 years and so he wouldn't be worth bringing in. He could've just left it as Barry wouldn't have gotten paid.

They can say it all they want. Are they willing to put up with what comes with saying it tho? And I don't even think it would be that big of a story. It is baseball

Of course...

No disrespect because he's the GOAT but I'm thinking there's probably a lot of people who dealt with Bonds for years who might not jump at the opportunity to deal with him again.
