Expos sign Canseco to minor league contract
MONTREAL (Ticker) -- Jose Canseco will have a chance to pursue
his dream of 500 home runs but to do it he will have to show he
can play the field.
The 37-year-old Canseco, who spent last season with the Chicago
White Sox, on Tuesday signed a minor league contract with the
Montreal Expos.
Canseco batted .258 with 16 homers and 49 RBI in 76 games last
season. But Canseco has been relgated to designated hitter for
most of the last decade and will have to play the field in the
National League.
Canseco, who may fit into Montreal's left field plans, is a
17-year veteran who will be playing full-time in the NL for the
first time. He broke in with Oakland in 1985 and has spent time
with Texas, Boston, Toronto, Tampa Bay and the New York Yankees.
