In a heartfelt interview, former Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa publicly apologized to Cubs owner Tom Ricketts and the organization for any hurt he may have caused. Sosa, who played for the Cubs from 1992 to 2004, expressed regret over the past actions and errors he made during his career, specifically addressing the ongoing speculation surrounding his use of performance-enhancing drugs. ‘I made mistakes, and I take full responsibility for that,’ Sosa stated, acknowledging the impact of his choices. Sosa’s relationship with the Cubs has remained strained in the years since his retirement, with Ricketts previously stating that the organization was part of Sosa’s journey, but he needed to take accountability for his actions. ‘It is time for us to heal,’ Sosa added, suggesting a desire to reconcile with the franchise that was significant in his rise as a baseball star. Both Ricketts and Sosa have left the door open for a potential reunion, with discussions ongoing about a possible invitation for Sosa to participate in the Cubs’ 2024 festivities celebrating the franchise’s history. The hope is that this public acknowledgment leads to a mending of the long-standing rift between Sosa and the team, bringing closure to a period marked by controversy and division.
