Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said Saturday that former outfielder Sammy Sosa needs to be honest with the team regarding performance-enhancing drug use before he will be welcomed back.
Ricketts made the statement during the Cubs' annual fan convention, according to ESPN.com's Jesse Rogers, saying, "Players from that era owe us a little bit of honesty. The only way to turn that page is to put everything on the table."
Although Major League Baseball never publicized a failed PED test by Sosa during his career, Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times reported in 2009 that lawyers accessed information regarding a failed test by Sosa in 2003.
