Sosa hit first home run of spring training

The Texas Rangers beat the KC Royals 5-0 Sunday. Sosa’s home run in the second inning was his first homer since August 4, 2005 when he was with the Baltimore Orioles. Sosa did not play last season but played in the minors during the offseason. Looks like Sosa is picking up things where he left off. His presence will help the Rangers this year to have a good season.

Sosa is back!

The Texas Rangers agreed on a minor league contract with Sosa on Tuesday. Sosa is posed to enter the Majors by the end of spring training. He is quoted that there is only a one in a million chance that he will not make the big leagues. If he does make it to the Majors, he will get a fraction of what he was paid before he retired. For the season, he would get a $500,000 one-year deal, and can earn up to $2.1 million during the season.
