Pitcher Hiroki Kuroda, the most hotly-pursued starter on this winter's free agent market, will travel to the United States this week to meet with his agent and go over offers from major-league clubs, a source told ESPN.com. Several media outlets in Japan and Los Angeles have reported that Kuroda cancelled his U.S. visit and is leaning heavily toward signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But Kuroda's planned trip to California to meet with agent Steve Hilliard appears to indicate that he's not as far along in the process as the reports suggest. The Dodgers, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks and Kansas City Royals have all made offers to Kuroda. The estimates of his price tag have generally fallen in the three-year, $36 million range, although the lack of alternatives on the free agent market could force clubs to offer a longer deal for more money.
