Curtis Granderson will be a free agent this offseason and would prefer to remain with the New York Yankees.
"That's his first choice," agent Matt Brown said. "He absolutely wants to stay there."
Granderson was limited to 61 games this season because of a broken forearm and then fractured pinky finger.
The Yankees could make Granderson a qualifying offer, which would be worth slightly less than $14 million and represent a cut of just over $1 million from what Granderson made this year.
"It looks like we're probably headed down that road," Brown said. "But I think people remember what he did the previous two years."
