Sammy Sosa is coming back to the Rangers.
The two sides have shook hands in principle according to a source, and now general manager Jon Daniels and agent Adam Katz are trying to work out the final details. A formal announcement is expected in the next few days.
Two key figures in this whole process -- manager Ron Washington and hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo -- are one with the idea: Bring on Sammy Sosa.
"I'm all for it," Washington said on Wednesday while driving from New Orleans to Dallas for the big announcement. "Anytime you can get a guy of his pedigree and background and attitude, and [he] shows he still has his swing ... I'm for it."
