News: Sosa will announce his "formal" retirement soon, ESPNDeportes.com reports.
Analysis: Sosa played semi-well during a DH-dominated stint with the Rangers in 2007, but he drew no interest since. His career ends with 609 home runs, good for sixth on the all-time list. His 2,306 career strikeouts were the most ever by a right-handed batter. Slammin' Sammy will forever be remembered for the Summer of '98, the heart-to-mouth-to-sky home run celebration, the corked bat and the sudden loss of English during the first congressional hearing on steroids. But he sure gave fantasy owners a run of very good seasons.
