Alex Cabrera, who was named in the Mitchell Report, probably stemming from his days with the Diamondbacks in 2000, has signed with the Orix of the Japanese League.


Cabrera has spent the last 7 seasons in Japan playing for the Seibu Lions, but will spend 2008 with the Orix Buffaloes, signing a 1-year $2.2M deal.


Alex has a career .306 batting average with 273 homers and 686 RBIs in Japan. Last season, Cabrera hit .295 with 27 HR's and 81 RBI's.
