Tommy Edmund (29), who played as a main infielder for the South Korean national team in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, may be transferred.
The Assletic reported on November 29 (Korean time) that Edmund’s team, the Saint Louis Cardinals, is discussing his transfer.
The media reported that the Los Angeles Dodgers are discussing the introduction of Edmond with the Cardinals Club, and the New York Yankees have also shown strong interest.

Edmond, whose mother is Korean and father is American, played in 596 games in five years with one team in St. Louis alone.
Although he won the Gold Glove Award as a second baseman in 2021, he has experience in all positions except first base, catcher, and pitcher, and is an all-around practical player.
Has not played this season. Underwent wrist surgery during the offseason, but his recovery has not been smooth.
Although he recently participated in rehabilitation matches, his comeback was delayed due to an ankle injury.
Of course, the teams hoping to add him are well aware of the situation. The Asletic reports that the Dodgers have scoured Edmond’s rehab games and taken into account concerns about the state of his ankle.
Although he has not participated in the competition yet, the charm of being able to handle multiple positions seems hard to resist.
With outfielders like Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, Miguel Rojas, and Chris Taylor leaving due to consecutive injuries, he is considered the best candidate to increase flexibility on both offense and defense.
Edmond is currently in the first year of a two-year, $16.5 million contract and is expected to earn $9.5 million in annual salary through 2025.
After the 2025 season, he will complete six years of service and gain full FA eligibility.
