Is Milton Bradley gone for good?

By juan

Last week, the Seattle Mariners designated Milton Bradley for assignment. Yesterday, the San Diego Padres said they wouldn’t probably bring him back and added their name to a list of MLB teams that won’t even consider Bradley.

The 33-year-old Bradley, was hitting .218/.313/.356 in 28 games for the Mariners in 2011. He was in the final year of a three-year contract where he’s making $12 million this season.

Today, Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated said that two other baseball executives said “no” about the possibility of signing Bradley. “I think he’s had enough chances,” said an executive. “He’s a fun sucker. He sucks the fun out of everything.”

An executive with one of Bradley’s recent teams said. “Everyone walks around on tippy toes because nobody wants to offend him … He has enough money. He should use it to get some help.”

Back in January, Bradley was arrested by the LAPD for making “criminal threats” to a woman. Though he was not arrested, it was just another black mark on Bradley’s record which includes run-ins with every manager or coach for the team he has been on and fights with the fans.

Bradley is a lifetime .270/.364/.440 with 125 HR’s and 481 RBI’s in 3605 AB’s throughout 12 Major League seasons.
