The Rangers worked out free agent Sammy Sosa at Ameriquest Field on Monday.

Sosa also met with general manager Jon Daniels over dinner Monday night. The thought that Jason Botts' next snub might come at Sosa's hands is pretty sickening, but even if Sosa is signed, it's doubtful he'll be guaranteed anything.

According to MLB.com, the Rangers and Sammy Sosa have agreed in principal to a minor league contract.

Sosa will only be guaranteed $500,000 if he makes the team, though he could command substantially more in incentives. A deal could be finalized before the end of the week.

If he makes the team, would he be their DH?

If Sosa makes the team he will be the DH with some spot time in the OF...

Really a low risk deal for the Rangers, except for the PR hit of taking on a proven Cheater...

ESPN's Wojciechowski -- yeah, I copied and pasted that name -- has a pretty nice article on Sosa.

If he works out, that's a heck of a deal.

Sosa has been informed he made the Opening Day roster

Quote:

Sosa was 1-for-3 on Thursday and is now 14-for-31 (.452) with three home runs and seven RBIs in 10 Cactus League games. He has hit safely in all 10 games. He struck out twice Thursday, giving him eight in 31 at-bats, but the home run was a blast.

Wow! He has the chance to change his legacy.
