According to Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles, Hiroki Kuroda has told friends that his first preference is to pitch in Southern California.
This would enable him to be closer to his two daughters, who are attending elementary school. Teams have been under the impression that Kuroda will either re-sign with the Yankees or return to Japan to finish his career, but this could open the door for the Dodgers or Angels to emerge as front-runners. Of course, it's possible this is just getting floated out there in order to get the Yankees to increase their offer.
