Sosa Wants To Return

"I'm an exciting player." Sammy Sosa wants to play for someone in 2007.

ESPN reports:

Despite the questions surrounding Sosa's character, he is ready to get back into baseball.

"Well, we're speaking with my agent seeing what's going on. I'm letting him know that I'm ready to come back like I'm ready to play again," Sosa said.

Sosa says he still has a lot of gas left in his tank.

"I'm only 38 years old. ... I'm an exciting player and I'm looking for a chance, and if I get that chance, you never know. I might hit you 40 or 50 [home runs], you never know."

Sosa hit .221/.295/.376 in 102 games for Baltimore in 2005. I can't imagine anyone offering him a guaranteed contract; he's going to have to make a team. But whoever offers him a shot (I'm guessing some AL team will) could make out nicely.
