The Laredo Broncos say they have signed Jose Canseco to a short-term contract. The independent minor-league team from Laredo, Texas, said Saturday that Canseco will serve as bench coach and designated hitter during two Broncos’ homestands. The United League series against the Rio Grande Valley White Wings is Monday through Wednesday. He’ll also be on hand Aug. 28-30 against the Coastal Bend Thunder. The former American League MVP, who admitted to using steroids and alleged that several other players did too, formerly played with two teams in the independent Golden League in 2006.
