Sosa, 28, was batting .264 with seven home runs and a career high-tying 30 RBIs in 83 games this season, as well as delivering high-level defense at multiple infield positions. In 389 career games over nine seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals (2018-22) and Phillies, he is a .255 hitter with 25 home runs and 108 RBIs.
