Scout’s note
Tommy Edman, a switch-hitting second baseman out of Pontiac, Michigan, is in his age-31 season with the Dodgers after debuting in 2019. Over his last 14 days at the MLB level he hit .250 with a .775 OPS across 11 games — steady enough, though 11 strikeouts in that span tell you the contact is thinning.

No hollow dots on his strip. He had not reached 100 balls in play by , so there is no earlier place to mark. He has 167 now.
What he’s paid
Under contractA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s, as of .
- 2026 salary
- $12.09M
- Tax hit
- $13.04M
- Service time
- 6 yr 114 d
- Guaranteed
- $74M
The deal 5 years $74M (2025–2029), with an opt-out, club option for 2030 — $14.8M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 5 y/$74M (25-29)+30 cl opt* · agent Weisz Spts · 3 / 3 options left
After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $11.8M | $11.5M | $11.2M | $3.0M |
| Tax hit | $13.0M | $13.0M | $13.0M | Option |
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Los Angeles Dodgers.
A second set of books
The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of . We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.
- Tax AAV

What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | $12.3M | $12.3M | $12.3M | $12.3M | $13.0M |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

The Bureau on Tommy Edman
The scouting press, in their own words
Pages injury stinks and doesn't really help any of the young Dodgers OF'ers break through. Quintero is the most polished defender of the group, but he hasn't reached Double-A yet. Sirota can play center IMO, but it's a steep downgrade from Pages. Edman moving out there seems most
Umpire favor
-1.3 net runs over 26 graded games — the zone cost the umpire more than it gave, on balance.
