Say It Ain't So(sa)

Can't say I didn't exactly see this coming, but I am still in a state of shock. On one hand, Sammy's relationship with the organization was fractured. However, on the other hand, he is a living legend and guaranteed Hall Of Famer with a few more productive seasons left. I will miss him, all Cubs fans will miss him . . .

SOSA HEADED TO ORIOLES

BALTIMORE -- The Orioles and Cubs have completed a deal that would send slugger Sammy Sosa to Baltimore for second baseman Jerry Hairston and two minor leaguers, according to a team source, pending physicals for Sosa and Hairston.

The Orioles had no official comment on the deal, but they are apparently on the verge of bringing one of baseball's premier power hitters to Baltimore. Sosa, who is in the Dominican Republic, is expected to come to Baltimore early next week for his physical.

Sosa had a difficult relationship with Cubs manager Dusty Baker and his numbers were down from his previous sparkling years. He has been on the trading block for months and the Orioles have been rumored to be interested, but had been scared off by Sosa's salary.
