8/16 4:12 PM Lenyn Sosa (3B/2B-CWS) 'Dangerous' Lenyn Sosa slugs his way to team lead in home runs — and maybe into Sox' future plans.

With struggles from Robert Garcia leading the way, Josh Jung, Adolis Garcia, and others need help. Fortunately for Texas, Major League Baseball gave them a new option when it comes to making improvements.
