As a die-hard Cubs fan, I would love it if anyone would take Sosa and that $32M as he is definitely not worth that kind of money, even if he does hit 35 Home runs/year. I have watched quite a few Cubs games this year and if there is some sort of batting statistic on clutch hittiing (like men in scoring position with 2 outs), I bet Sammy has to be ranked one of the worst. It would make sense to me for some AL team to pick up Sammy as he might make a good DH in a couple of years as his fielding sucks. I think at this point Sammy is tired of the Cubs and the team does not have the right chemistry with him so it makes a lot of sense to trade him and his big salary. A trade would be beneficial for both parties and I don't know much about Sweeney, but the Cubs will need an outfielder as Alou is probably not going to be back next year and trading Sammy would free up RF. Do the Royals have any extra outfielders?
