Some outragous amount for a hasbeen?

it is fucked up for sure.... sounds like the cubs are in trade talks for dotel and abrey huff now.

Sosa sucks now that he is off the juice. Good trade for the Cubs.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The Chicago Cubs were close to agreement on a trade to send unhappy slugger Sammy Sosa to the Baltimore Orioles, several high-ranking baseball officials told The Associated Press.

Medical tests and approval from commissioner Bud Selig and the players' association remain unresolved, the officials said Friday night, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The Cubs would pay a substantial part of Sosa's $17 million salary this season, the executives said. Sosa would agree to void his salary scheduled for 2006, they also said.

In exchange, Chicago would receive second baseman Jerry Hairston Jr. and at least two prospects.

Sosa's contract gives the Cubs an $18 million option in 2006 with a $4.5 million buyout. But the contract says that if he is traded, his 2006 salary would become guaranteed and a 2007 club option would be added at $19 million with a $4.5 million buyout.

The players' association previously told Sosa's agent, Adam Katz, that voiding the 2007 option would not be a problem if Sosa is traded.



I can't picture Sosa is a Oriole

who is that?

You could sense sammy's time in Chicago was coming to an end. I have mixed emotions. I love Sammy, but I think he is on the decline. I sure hope the cubs get Huff.

Some guy who plays with "practice" corked bats

who cares, the dominican women down at la isla are an unknown treasure,,

how many home runs does he have now? I don't want to find it
