The Los Angeles Dodgers locked in their do-it-all star with a five-year, $74 million extension, keeping the NLCS MVP in LA through 2029. Edman has been a game-changer, and the Dodgers aren&rsquo;t taking any chances letting him walk.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Superutilityman Tommy Edman and the Los Angeles Dodgers are in agreement on a five-year, $74 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN.

He can play shortstop, center field, and second base&mdash;positions that are critical defensively. During the Dodgers&rsquo; World Series run, he proved his worth by excelling at shortstop and center field, positions the team struggled with after Trea Turner&rsquo;s departure.<\/p><p>Despite missing most of the regular season due to wrist and ankle injuries, Edman made his impact felt after returning on August 19. In 37 regular-season games, he hit six home runs, drove in 20 RBIs, and posted a .711 OPS. Those numbers, while modest, set the stage for a breakout postseason.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tommy Edman and has agreed to a five-year, $74 million contract extension with the Dodgers, per ESPN. <br><br>Earned, not given. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MzegwQo4ny\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/MzegwQo4ny<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Dodgers Central (@DodgersCentralX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DodgersCentralX\/status\/1862620192540651839?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>November 29, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>In October, Edman became a force.

I\u2019m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you\\'ve probably never heard of me!\u2014I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That\u2019s the job! Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama\u2014whatever needs words. Favorite part? The chaos. One day it\\'s a blockbuster trade, the next it\\'s a goat running onto the field. Never boring. Message to readers: If you want deep analysis, there are people for that. If you want sharp, no-BS writing that actually makes sense, stick around.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/n.a.t.a.s.h.a.2\/"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/natasha-bosetheplayoffs-news\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6334"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6334"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6340,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6334\/revisions\/6340"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
