Cubs owner Tom Ricketts has indicated that he may be open to reaching out to Sammy Sosa and repairing the relationship with the former star.

"It's a great question," Ricketts said when asked about Sosa. "Maybe we should revisit that."

The Ricketts family bought the Cubs in 2009, long after Sosa played his last game with the franchise in 2004. Sosa did not leave the team on good terms.

From a corked bat incident to reportedly leaving Wrigley Field early during the last game in 2004 to a New York Times story that reported Sosa was on the 2003 list of players who flunked a PED test, Sosa's popularity in Chicago took a hit.

Sosa has not returned for the annual fan convention since he retired in 2007.
