(East Los Angeles, CA) [From The Editor’s Desk]: The Dodgers continue to make big and exciting news during this traditional “off-season” leading up to the much-awaited 2025 Major League Baseball season, returning to the field and crowned as the newest MLB World Series Champions.

One of the biggest deals they have made since the official end of last season has been the extension of their utility Super-Star, Tommy Edman’s contract. Playing like a “Man On Fire,” Edman literally became a one-man wrecking crew for the Dodgers as they went from NLCS Champions, then onto the World Series Champions, with the talents of this young utility position player rising to the very top as he played a key role in both Championship Series. 

For those outstanding and memorable moments, the Club has rewarded him with a contract that every MLB player would love to have. More information can be found in the press announcement that follows below.
