Renewed Nationalism

The Daily Herald and the Sun-Times have basically identical articles today following a resumption in talks between Jim Hendry and the Washington Nationals regarding a potential trade for Sammy Sosa.

While I find it hard to believe that Sammy will be home-run hopping at RFK any time soon, it seems Hendry is continuing to explore all options, beyond free-spending Omar Minaya and the Mets, to find a way to keep the sour slugger from returning to Chicago. Remember your words, Jim: "only if it makes the team better."
