Yu Darvish says he likely would opt for sightseeing over pitching if he's selected to the American League All-Star team for the third consecutive season.

Darvish is scheduled to make three more starts before the break, including one that would come two days before the July 15 All-Star Game.

The Japanese pitcher shook his head "no" several times Thursday when asked whether he'd be willing to pitch an inning in the All-Star Game if he stays on that schedule. He then said through his translator that he'd go sightseeing while in Minnesota if on the AL squad.
