Sammy Sosa Reunites with Chicago Cubs After 20-Year Rift

The former slugger will attend the 2025 Cubs Convention following a carefully worded statement addressing past controversies.

Sammy Sosa and the Chicago Cubs have reconciled after a 20-year estrangement, with the team inviting him to the 2025 Cubs Convention in January.
The reconciliation follows a statement from Sosa in which he vaguely acknowledged past 'mistakes' but avoided directly admitting to steroid use.
The rift between Sosa and the Cubs began in 2004 after his controversial departure from the team and was prolonged by his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts, who previously demanded an apology from Sosa, expressed a desire to 'move forward together' in the team's statement on the reunion.
Sosa's return is expected to spark mixed reactions from fans and former teammates, with some celebrating his contributions and others questioning the sincerity of his statement.
