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.
