Jim Edmonds Rumors: Two team involved in current negotiations
ByThe St. Louis Globe-Democrat reports that potential destinations for free agent Jim Edmonds have been narrowed to two teams and the St. Louis Cardinals are not one of them.
The identity of the two teams was not immediately known, but according to Rob Rails, the teams are willing to pay Edmonds more than the minimum salary and possibly offer him a Major League roster spot. It was expected that the Cardinals would offer Edmonds the minimum salary and invite him to Spring Training as a non-roster player where he would have to compete for a spot on the team.
It was rumored last week that three or four teams have contacted Edmonds including the New York Yankees.
Edmonds has not played since September 2008 for the Chicago Cubs. Edmonds, 39, has a .284 career batting average with 382 home runs in 16 Major League seasons. You can see Edmond’s contract history and statistics here.
