Former St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Jim Edmonds is set to join the Cardinals broadcast booth for about 30 games this season.
Edmonds, who was on the Hall of Fame ballot this past year, has spent the last three seasons as a Cardinals analyst for the pre- and postgame shows on Fox Sports Midwest. The move to join Cardinals televison broadcaster Dan McLaughlin the booth comes as the iconic Mike Shannon limits his radio broadcast duties to those games at Busch Stadium only. With Shannon no longer broadcasting on the road, Rick Horton’s TV appearances will drop as he shifts over to join John Rooney on the radio.
