I don't see why anybody would want him. His last good year was 2003. His power left him after the new steroid rules came into effect and he was suddenly slim-and-trim. And as David points out, hardly anyone makes a successful comeback after a year off. Take all of that, plus the late-career attitude problems, and I can't imagine anyone signing Sammy.

Dave Winfield missed his age 38 season [1989]and played 6 more years.

But Winfield was rehabilitating, not chilling in Miami clubs. And Winfield was, like, a thousand times better than Soas.

If he wants to play, he'll have to settle for a NRI in Spring Training, which he was too proud to accept last year. I'm sure any team in baseball would be willing to have him around in that capacity, but he'll have to prove he can play before anyone will give him a significant contract. Maybe as a best-case scenario he can sign a Frank Thomas-esque contract, but is he willing to do that? I doubt it.

And the chances of him having a Frank Thomas-like year are...

"I feel good physically, and after a year of HGH therapy we are optimistic about making a decision soon about returning to baseball,"

Fixed.

That's pretty much it Josh. If Sosa's agent/advisors have explained to him how Giambi worked his way back he might have a shot. Personally I think baseball will be better when all these names are gone.

Yeah, he'd be worth an NRI, and has a chance of being somewhat helpful in a fourth-OF, part-time DH, pinch-hitter role. You know, a cheap alternative to Kevin Millar. But I can't imagine Sammy being happy in that role, and no team needs a disgruntled ex-superstar on its bench.

Tampa Bay (or KC) might be interested -- it's a way to put some fannies in the seats. But does Sammy want to be DH on a last place team.

The Devil Rays are done pulling that kind of garbage, and they need a declining/completely useless veteran like I need a hole in my head. Or at least I pray this is the truth. I honestly can't see this guy doing anything good for any franchise. I would be shocked if he could provide enough positives to overshadow the dark period of baseball be has come to represent.

The comments regarding HGH are flawed. HGH alone does almost nothing in terms of enhancing performance. It's basically a recovery tool. If sosa would wan to see increased performance, he'd be better off overdosing on greenies.

Wow, do you really believe that, gopb? Increased recovery allows people to exercise more often and for longer, and thus add more muscle, stay in the line-up, recover from injuries, etc.

It does nothing to build muscle. Well I suppose the recovery aspect does, but that's about it. Using that logic, you could argue that creatine helps build muscle too. While it's basically a recovery tool, it will help you workout longer.
