SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Sammy Sosa is still waiting for an offer to play in the major leagues, according to a report published by Dominican newspaper Listin Diario.
Sosa, who previously had expressed his intention to retire from baseball after the next World Baseball Classic in March, believes he can still have an impact at the major league level.
"I still don't have an offer, and I shouldn't be looking for offers out there," said Sosa, the National League MVP in 1998 and the only hitter to surpass 60 or more homers in a season on three occasions. "Any team who wants to sign me should have the initiative and make an offer."
Sosa added that he's still in good physical shape in hopes of making a comeback to professional baseball.
"Those who saw me training know that I'm hitting the ball with the usual authority. I just hope to get the chance to prove that I'm still a threat," said Sosa at a charity event sponsored by his foundation.
The Dominican slugger did not play in the first edition of the WBC in 2006. That same year, the right fielder rejected a contract offer from the Washington Nationals.
The second edition of the WBC, with 16 countries in the field, will begin play in March. The Dominican Republic will play its first-round games in Puerto Rico.
Sosa, who turned 40 on Nov. 12, is a free agent who had 21 home runs and 92 RBIs in 114 games in 2007 with the Texas Rangers. Playing against the Cubs, his former team, Sosa became the fifth player in history to hit 600 home runs, following the path of Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755), Babe Ruth (714) and Willie Mays (660).
Is any team seriously interested in this guy? I think someone might offer him a minor league deal, but as far as a guaranteed job maybe a lower level team might give him a chance just to fill some seats. Depends on how much he asks for. If he even thinks he's still worth the money he used to be, he's crazy...
Which is why he's "still waiting for offer".
He thinks he's still got everything, and is going to turn down offers left and right till they match what they used to be I'm sure.
The guy's 40, should be retiring now To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
I love how delusional this guy is. Same with Bonds when he said he hasn't retired yet. No Barry, maybe you haven't, but the teams are choosing that you do retire. Sammy's in the same boat.
