Cardinals Give Tommy Edman A Two-Year Deal
11 months agoThe St. Louis Cardinals announced an undisclosed two-year deal with second baseman Tommy Edman on Monday to avoid salary arbitration. The two-year deal will buy out Edman's final two remaining years of arbitration eligibility. The 28-year-old infielder is rehabbing from wrist surgery and isn't expected to be ready to go for the start of spring training next month. It means that he might not be fully ready for the start of the 2024 regular season, but when healthy, Edman should serve as St. Louis' everyday second baseman. Despite a bad year for the Cardinals in 2023, Edman did his thing with a .248/.307/.399 slash line in 137 total games played with 13 home runs, 47 RBI, 27 stolen bases and 69 runs scored. He also has the ability to play shortstop and the outfield, and his positional versatility is pretty much his selling point for fantasy managers.
