Infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman, who earned National League Championship Series MVP honors for the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, agreed to a five-year, $74 million extension on Saturday with a club option for a sixth season.
Edman, 29, will be under contract with Los Angeles through at least the 2029 season after coming over from the St. Louis Cardinals on July 29 in a three-team trade.
In this year’s NCLS, he hit .407 with 11 RBIs and drilled the series-clinching home run in Game 6 against the New York Mets. In the 2024 playoffs, Edman hit .328 with two homers and 13 RBIs after batting .237 with six homers and 20 RBIs in 37 regular-season games for the Dodgers.
A six-year veteran who has played six positions in the majors, Edman has batted .263 with 59 homers, 112 stolen bases and 242 RBIs for the Cardinals (2019-23) and Dodgers.
He won his lone Gold Glove in 2021, when played second base (130 games), right field (41) and shortstop (4) for St. Louis, which drafted him in the sixth round in 2016.
