In his message to Cubs fans, Sosa reflected on his time with the team and the decisions he made to stay competitive and healthy.

"I left it all on the field for the Cubs and Cubs fans because I wanted to win and make the fans happy," Sosa expressed. "There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games. I never broke any laws but in hindsight, I made mistakes and I apologize."
