The 40-year-old last played in the big leagues in 2007, when he hit 21 homers and drove in 92 runs for the Rangers.
"I still don't have an offer, and I shouldn't be looking for offers out there," Sosa was quoted in the story as saying. "Any team who wants to sign me should have the initiative and make an offer."
Sosa, who is just the fifth player in baseball history to collect 600 homers, said he is in good shape.
"Those who saw me training know that I'm hitting the ball with the usual authority. I just hope to get the chance to prove that I'm still a threat," said Sosa at a charity event sponsored by his foundation.
