OSAKA -- Seibu Lions slugger Alex Cabrera tied the Japanese record for home runs in a single season, and next season, he thinks he'll reach No. 56.

But that's if he comes back for another year with the defending Pacific League champions.

Before Tuesday's MLB-Japan All-Star Game, Cabrera said he is interested in playing in the major leagues again next season. The 30-year-old Venezuelan said he has "options" for the second year of his two-year contract with Seibu.
