Career over for Sosa?

Sammy Sosa probably will retire after he rejected an offer from the Washington Nationals.

"It's more than likely we have seen him in a uniform for the last time," Sosa's agent, Adam Katz, said Wednesday.

The 37-year-old outfielder ranks fifth on the career home run list with 588 but batted .221 with 14 homers and 45 RBIs last year in his only season with the Baltimore Orioles.

Washington offered Sosa a non-guaranteed contract that would have included performance bonus opportunities.

"It wasn't about the money and it wasn't about No. 600," Katz said. "It was a function of Sammy's expectation of his own performance. He didn't want to go out there and underperform like he did last year because it was just too painful for him, and it's just something he doesn't want to go through again."

Right. Sammy Sosa comes out of nowhere to become the only player in history to hit 50+ homeruns in four consecutive seasons, gets caught using a corked bat, and suddenly has odd injuries and sees his numbers plummet after the league starts testing for steroids.

Was he juicing? Look at his numbers.
