World Series – Los Angeles Dodgers v New York Yankees – Game 4 – Source: Getty
After a disappointing end to his time in St. Louis, Tommy Edman’s fortune could not have been any better upon his arrival in Los Angeles. Edman spent the first five-and-a-half years of his major league career with the Cardinals before he was dealt to the Dodgers during the 2024 trade deadline via a three-team trade that involved Michael Kopech, Erick Fedde, Tommy Pham, and Miguel Vargas.
In Wednesday’s interview with Sports Spectrum, the “super utility man” shared his thoughts about his new team and surroundings on the West Coast.
“I’m just very grateful to the Dodgers that helped me make a seamless transition,” Edman said. (2:30-2:33)
The 2024 NLCS MVP also shared that apart from the help he received from the team, his faith helped him meet new people and adjust to new surroundings despite the trouble of always moving around as a pro player.
“The really big part of it is knowing who my brothers in my faith are,” Edman added (1:44-1:58). “Fortunately, we have a great group in LA and I was able to find a chapel in no time. I immediately connected with people in it.
“It’s important to have deep conversations with people. It’s good to talk about faith and the things we’re struggling with. At the end of the day, gathering a community is one of the most important things you can do.”(3:45-4:28)
Tommy Edman’s contrasting year as a pro
It wasn’t until the second week of August during the past season that Tommy Edman saw action on the diamond. A wrist surgery ahead of the 2024 campaign was re-aggravated during Spring Training, forcing the Cardinals to place Edman on the long-term injury list.
Little did the utility man know that the next step of his career would launch him to heights he had never seen before.
During the trade deadline, the former Gold Glover was sent to the Dodgers via a three-team trade. Edman played 37 regular season games but it was in the postseason where he actually flourished.
In 61 at-bats, Edman produced a .328/.354/.862 slash line with two home runs and 13 RBIs across 20 base hits. He also recorded five stolen bases and 12 runs in the process. He was crowned the 2024 NLCS MVP and capped off his amazing first half-season in LA with a World Series title.
