Probably Sammy being Sammy--says he's studying 2 offers, won't name
This article from
today's El Nacional by Julio Valdez just says Sammy Sosa is considering 2 offers, one
from a contender, and one "not so tough/hard." Scroll down near end of article to paragraph titled "Futero en el beisbol." I've spent the past hour trying to get the
page translated via the google service, but no luck yet. Thanks to the kind commenter
who gave me the suggestion when I mentioned a Spanish newspaper article last week.
Anyhow, here it is.
