Los Angeles Dodgers extend contract of postseason hero

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly working on a contract extension with Tommy Edman, their postseason hero and NLCS MVP from the 2024 season. Acquired in a midseason trade, Edman proved crucial to the Dodgers’ World Series run with his defensive versatility and timely hitting. While his regular-season offensive stats were modest, his postseason performance solidified his value to the team.

Edman, currently set to become a free agent after the 2025 season, is a versatile switch-hitter and defender who fits perfectly into the Dodgers’ long-term plans. Preliminary discussions are focusing on locking him in for the future, with speculation that a deal could be in the range of $12–14 million annually for 3–4 years. This move aligns with the Dodgers’ strategy of maintaining depth while pursuing other high-profile targets in free agency [oai_citation:3,REPORT; The Dodgers have confirmed that an important postseason contributor has extended their contract to…](https://www.dnssport.co.uk/2024/11/25/report-the-dodgers-have-confirmed-that-an-important-postseason-contributor-has-extended-their-contract-to/) [oai_citation:2,Dodgers Notes: LA Signs Reliever, Contract Discussions With Postseason Hero, Miguel Rojas Talks Huge Sacrifice | Dodgers Nation](https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-notes-la-signs-reliever-contract-discussions-with-postseason-hero-miguel-rojas-talks-huge-sacrifice/2024/11/24/) [oai_citation:1,Dodgers Rumors: LA has begun extension talks with surprise playoff hero](https://dodgersway.com/dodgers-rumors-la-has-begun-extension-talks-with-surprise-playoff-hero-tommy-edman).
