Home-run king Barry Bonds has been fired as hitting coach of the Miami Marlins after just one season, US media reports said. Bonds, whose record-breaking career was marred by his involvement in baseball's steroids scandal, was dumped by the Marlins after the Florida franchise finished the season 79-82. As well as Bonds, third base coach Lenny Harris and bullpen coach Reid Cornelius were axed from manager Don Mattingly's staff.
