Sammy Sosa is considering coming back to baseball to try and reach 600 home runs. Personally, I would hope that no major league team offers Sosa a contract. This is a man who cheated and then lied about it. It is obvious that Sosa was a steroid user and he deserves to sit at home, wondering if he could still go out and get to 600 home runs. When Sosa is eligible for the hall of fame, I would hope that the voters will stand up and not put him in, same for Mark McGwire. While McGwire and Sosa did a lot to resurrect baseball in the late 90s, they still cheated and still deserve to be locked out of the game. Pete Rose was a player who did a lot for the game, but he bet on baseball, so he is now locked out. Sosa expects that baseball will welcome him back with open arms. Last season the Washington Nationals tried to sign him, offering 500,000, which should be a good deal to a washed up cheater, but Sosa turned it down. By turning down that deal, he effectively ended his career. Sosa should not be welcomed back into the MLB, not only because he is a cheater, but because he can no longer play up to the quality that he once could.
Sosa is off of steroids and old. He is probably much older than his age says. In the past two years his decline has been very evident. Why would a team want a player like Sosa on their team? He is a cheater and a complainer. He was thrown out of the Cubs organization because he didn't support his teammates. He only cares about himself and only wants to come back to reach 600 home runs. Baseball should not support Sosa in his greedy quest for 600.
