Cubs GM Hendry lashes out at Bradley
MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Cubs general manager Jim Hendry says Milton
Bradley should stop blaming the team, manager and fans for his
failure to produce during his tumultuous season in Chicago.
Hendry said Wednesday that signing Bradley to a three-year, $30
million contract before last season was "a mistake." He said the
atmosphere of the organization has improved since the outfielder
was traded to Seattle.
Bradley, who batted .257 with 12 homers and 40 RBIs last season,
was regularly booed at Wrigley Field. Bradley told ESPN in an
interview that aired Tuesday that he feared racist fans in Chicago
and felt like a prisoner in his own home.
Bradley also said manager Lou Piniella should have apologized in
front of the team instead of in private for a disparaging remark
last June.
