From the very start of the season, the Red Sox' outfield situation has been a struggle, to say the least. So much so, in fact, that they kicked the tires on 40-year-old Jim Edmonds, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy.
The story said that the Sox called the Brewers to ask about Edmonds' availability before Saturday's trade deadline. Edmonds, a 17-year big league veteran who did not play in 2009, still does not know if he wants to join a contender.
"I'm still thinking about all that's going on," Edmonds told MLB.com. "I might have more later, maybe even later [Friday]. I'm kind of kicking it around: Should I or shouldn't I? If something comes up, what should I do?"
Edmonds is batting .289 with eight homers and 20 RBIs in 65 games for the Brewers this season, spending most of his time batting sixth in the lineup. He has been limited lately with an Achilles' injury, which he said also may affect his fate before the deadline.
