Sosa to Retire?

After passing on the Nationals $500,000 one year offer, it seems Sammy Sosa will not even try to play for another MLB team again.

"We're not going to put him on the retirement list," Katz told ESPN.com. "We decided that [not putting him on that list] was the best thing to do. But I can say, with reasonable certainty, that we've seen Sammy in a baseball uniform for the last time."

This is very surprising, given the fact that Sosa is 12 HR shy of 600, which would put him in company with Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds, and Willie Mays.
