Jose Canseco is in the public eye again and this time he’s claiming he introduced New York Yankees’ third baseman Alex Rodriguez to a steroids distributor.

Jose Canseco says in his new book that he introduced Alex Rodriguez to a steroids distributor and that A-Rod pursued Canseco’s wife, according to the Web site of freelance writer Joe Lavin.

Lavin says on his Web site that he obtained the book, “Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and The Battle to Save Baseball,” on Monday from a bookstore in Cambridge, Mass. The book is due to be released April 1.

Lavin writes Canseco’s book discusses A-Rod, Roger Clemens and Magglio Ordonez.

He says Canseco claimed he didn’t inject Rodriguez but “introduced Alex to a known supplier of steroids.” Lavin also says “Canseco claims that A-Rod was trying to sleep with Canseco’s wife.”

Canseco is an absolute coconut, but he’s been right about his steroid claims in the past. Hmm…
