Tommy Edman extension: Dodgers lock up NLCS MVP to five-year contract worth $74 million

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed utility man Tommy Edman to a five-year contract extension worth $74 million, with a club option for a sixth year. The deal includes a $17 million signing bonus and some deferred money. Edman, acquired in a trade, had a strong postseason performance leading to his MVP honors in the NLCS and helping the Dodgers win the World Series. The Dodgers are making moves in the offseason, with Edman expected to shift back to center field and upgrades planned for the outfield corners. They have signed Blake Snell to a five-year contract and are in the mix for free agent Juan Soto. The team’s star-studded rotation includes Snell, Glasnow, Gonsolin, May, Ohtani, and Yamamoto, with potential for another starter due to injury risk. The Dodgers won the World Series in 2024, their eighth championship and seventh since moving to Los Angeles.
