It raised some eyebrows when rumors surfaced about the Dodgers' interest in Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan. The immediate thought was that it put Hyeseong Kim out of a job, but we should probably be asking the same question about Tommy Edman.
Edman, like both Donovan and Kim, is a second baseman, outfielder, and shortstop. All three spent most of their time at second in 2025 and played their best defense there.
On one hand, there's no way that the Dodgers could sideline or cut Edman, who they extended on a five-year, $74 million contract at the end of 2024.
