And he'll play against his brother, Ozzie, who is managing the team in Edinburg, the Roadrunners...
He's signed a 7-game deal with the Fort Worth Cats and play in the United League Thursday...
It's not the first time he played in the UL. He was in Laredo a few years ago...
Jose is reunited with Cats manager Jim Essian, who played with Oakland when Jose was a call-up...
The background... from the Fort Worth Cats:
"Jose was a young invitee to the A’s training camp, and I was a catcher at the time,” said Essian. “The second I saw the young Jose swing a bat, I knew he would be a special player. I immediately asked the coaching staff if he would be heading north with us.”
“I am excited to come to Fort Worth and mentor the young ballplayers,” exclaimed Canseco. “I love Dallas/Fort Worth and I can’t wait to go up against Ozzie.”

Jose Canseco finally loses his mind (OK, maybe he did awhile ago)
We couldn't pass this story up, mostly because Jose Canseco was once a promising Major League Baseball player and has somehow devolved into a bizarre, desperate for attention, whack job.
And there is a reason we say this.
Jose, or at least somebody pretending to be him, appears to have written an article for a magazine called Vice.com. Again, we have to qualify it because to be honest, we aren't sure Canseco is capable of writing a somewhat coherent column for a magazine.
Which isn't to imply this story is totally coherent.
In fact, if it is truly the former Bash Brothers handiwork, then it appears he's lost whatever marbles he had left.
Because the story he's written, is about time travel. Not for someone else. No, for him.
Read the story for yourself RIGHT HERE
Ok. They story itself is actually written in a a semi-literate, coherent manner. Which makes us wonder how legit it is. We think (qualifier), that this is either satire or an odd joke. And it is kind of amusing.
Truthfully, he's actually just talking about his dreams. And yeah, like anyone of his ilk, they are sort of bizarre. But put in the context of what is happened to the disgraced and discredited, "King of Steroids", it explains several things.
Just, we suppose, something to think about.

Jose Canseco leaves Mexican league after banned drug issue
((ht: espndeportes))
We know. You are as shocked to hear this as we were. And apparently as shocked as Jose himself.
According to a report on espndeportes, Canseco tested positive for taking testosterone and didn't have a prescription for it.
The report quotes the president of the Mexican league confirming the results and said Canseco admitted to it.
However, Jose took to Twitter to condemn the media and others for judging him and claiming he never took the test.
Canseco apparently had a try out with the Quintana Roo Tigers of the Mexican League. The team is apparently a AAA team in Mexican baseball.
We would think this is hilarious if it weren't for the idea that Canseco is using this as a publicity stunt. It wouldn't be the 1st time. Sure, we get that he probably doesn't have any money and is desperate to do anything he can to raise money. And yeah, we know, we are perpetuating it by reporting on what happened.
But in this case, its just so hard to look away from the Train Wreck.
Here's a clip of Jose being Jose from the movie "Life in the Minors" view at your own risk:
