Japanese left-hander Hisanori Takahashi has reportedly rejected contract offers from the Orioles and Mets.
The 34-year-old is expected to sign a minor league contract shortly, but not with San Francisco, Baltimore or New York. He posted a career 3.40 ERA over 245 games in Japan and will relieve stateside. Additional teams interested in the lefty include the Dodgers, Red Sox, Pirates and Padres.
