It seems like Sosa is taking a page out of the Brett Favre retirement book. It’s like they’re both at the end of the line but want us (or perhaps just sycophant sportswriters) to say “Oh no, please don’t!”
A source “close to Sammy Sosa” (whatever that means, maybe he was just standing in the same elevator as Sammy) told ESPNdeportes that “Sammy doesn’t think of himself as someone who has to beg for a spot on a big league roster.” I don’t see a lot of teams a calling, Sammy. In a league where they’ll pay millions of dollars just to bat five times a game, getting offered a $500,000 non-guaranteed contract is a slap in the face.
We agree with this guy. Sosa only is going to hurt his credentials and actually stands to make more money retiring now.
