According to the Associated Press, a congressional committee will look into Sammy Sosa’s 2005 denial that he used illegal performance-enhancing drugs.
The hearing is infamous now. Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling sat at a table before congress on March 17, 2005 and awkwardly discussed baseball's steroid issues. Sosa vehemently denied usage at that time through a written statement, read by his lawyer: "To be clear, I have never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs. I have never injected myself or had anyone inject me with anything." He is now in danger of facing possibly perjury charges. We'll keep you updated.

The New York Times, citing lawyers with knowledge of test results, reports that Sammy Sosa is among the players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003.
Though Sosa has been widely suspected of performance-enhancing drug use, this represents his first clear link to a positive test result. The 40-year-old, who announced his plans to retire from baseball earlier this month, is sixth on baseball's all-time home run list, with 609.

Sammy Sosa said Wednesday that he's ready to announce his formal retirement from baseball.
"I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame," said a delusional Sosa. "I always played with love and responsibility and I assure you that I will not answer nor listen to rumors. If anything ugly comes up in the future, we will confront it immediately, but with all our strength because I will not allow anybody to tarnish what I did in the field."

Rangers GM Jon Daniels told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he has no plans of pursuing free agent Sammy Sosa.
"He did a great job for us in 2007, but I'm not sure it's a fit for us this year," Daniels said. It's hard to see the 40-year-old Sosa realistically fitting in with most teams. He hit 21 homers and 92 RBI on top of a .252 average back in '07 with Texas, but he was a liability against righties.

Mike Napoli
Sidelined
According to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News, the Rangers have informed Mike Napoli that they will not exercise his $11 million club option for 2018.
Napoli will receive a $2.5 million buyout and hit free agency. The soon-to-be 36-year-old batted just .193 with a .285 on-base percentage in 124 games this season with Texas, though he did slug 29 home runs. He'll likely struggle to find lucrative offers on a market that will be flush with DH/1B types.

60-Day DL
Hanser Alberto is scheduled to undergo surgery on his right shoulder Monday.
Alberto has been sidelined since spring training due to lingering shoulder discomfort. The 24-year-old infielder can probably be ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Carlos Gomez (ankle) is likely done for the year.
Gomez has been playing through a balky right ankle for much of September and now it appears the out-of-contention Rangers will shut him down early. The 31-year-old center fielder is scheduled to hit free agency five days after the World Series. He slashed .255/.340/.462 with 17 home runs and 13 stolen bases in 105 games this season for Texas while pulling in $11.5 million.

60-Day DL
Chi Chi Gonzalez (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery next week.
Gonzalez had been working his way back from a slight UCL tear in his throwing elbow but Tommy John surgery became necessary after a recent setback. His surgery will be performed by Dr. Keith Meister. This will knock Gonzalez out for all of 2017 and probably most of next year as well. The right-hander holds a 4.54 ERA over 17 big league appearances including 13 starts.
