CSF Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Interesting. From Rotoworld: Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker reports that Jose Contreras is seeking employment in Japan. There was a report of Contreras reaching out to the Hanshin Tigers earlier this week, but the rumors hold more weight now that we learn his 16-year-old son is hoping to take part in an exchange program with a high school in Japan. The 37-year-old right-hander is expected to visit Japan next week, with the SoftBank Hawks and Hiroshima Carp as the most likely landing spots, based on geography, according to Newman.

Cubano Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 QUOTE (CSF @ Nov 21, 2009 -> 06:05 PM) Interesting. From Rotoworld: What son???? He has two daughters with his ex Cuban wife Mirian. The one that came by boat when he was with the Yanks. He divorced her and married a Brazilian model. They had a boy that should be 3 or 4.

Don't children typically arrive about 9 months after their mothers come? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubano Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The thing is that he has been in the USA for less than 16 years but his son is 16. I have a documentary on Jose and I swear he does not mention any son. He showed his two daughters and mentioned he just had a baby boy. Who knows!

266344 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Jose had a tryout yesterday with the Softbank Hawks of Japan's Pacific league. He threw 50 pitches in the bullpen while being observed by the Softbank scouts. Good luck Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reports of a major league club interested in Jose? A healthy Jose could be a plus for some team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
