The Yankees are among three or four teams interested in free-agent outfielder Jim Edmonds.

Edmonds told Cardinals manager Tony La Russa that he wants to play in St. Louis, but the team may not have a spot for him.

"I'm trying to figure out what to do," Edmonds said on The Morning After program on 1380 AM The Team in St. Louis. "We're just going to have to see how it goes."

Edmonds didn't reveal what teams, other than the Yankees, were interested.

"I have decided I want to try to play, but I need a couple of weeks to start hitting," he said. "I've been running and working out, but I need to start throwing and hitting a little more. It's hard to get outside in this weather. I'll know a little more by the end of next week."
