Freddy Garcia wants to stay in The Bronx, but even he knows he may have to wait to find out if that’s going to happen.

Garcia figures to be a good fit to return to the middle of the Yankees’ rotation, but with the team’s focus on pitching, they could turn their attention to a bigger name to slide in behind CC Sabathia before getting to Garcia.

“I don’t know if the Yankees are going to go for a high-priced guy first,” Garcia’s agent, Peter Greenberg said. “We’ll see what happens.”

The Yankees may go after free agents like C.J. Wilson, Mark Buehrle, Edwin Jackson or Roy Oswalt — although they are wary of Oswalt’s balky back — and figure to be interested in Yu Darvish, the Japanese star who is slated to become available later this month.

Garcia became a valuable member of the staff last season, winning 12 games for a second straight season. He took the loss in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Tigers.
