Former Major League slugger Jose Canseco is dangling himself as the home run pick for Federal Reserve chair — or at least ambassador to Cuba.

The big league lobbying — presumably a joke — comes as Canseco, 52, praised President-elect Donald Trump for considering former Mets manager Bobby Valentine as the ambassador to Japan.

“Hey little buddy @realDonaldTrump good pick on Bobby for Japan. I would be open to Ambassador of Cuba job or Fed Chair. See u soon,” the slugger began.

Canseco, who wrote a tell-all book about his steroid usage and rock-star lifestyle in 2005, continued to make his case: “Hey don @realDonaldTrump can help u with press too. When I was CEO of Canseco Financial was on CNBC with @mariabartiromo a lot. Nice lady.”

“Hey brother @realDonaldTrump give me control of the Fed and we will make the economy great again. Dow at 40k in 4 Years. #Yeswecanseco,” he added.

Finally, the ex-A’s bat-man tweeted, “Also amigo @realDonaldTrump keep the people away from S&P index funds — they have REIT crap in them that’s going to burst with rates rising.”

Trump has not yet commented about the offer.
