Up to two weeks of the regular season of 2025, One of the biggest concerns for dodgers is their defensewhich was less than almost all positions. As Mintz said, “I think they have only one defender above average on the field at any time. And that's right that Tommy Edman is, right?”
This led to the delicious hypothetical: if the dodgers could clone Edman, who can play the stop stop, the second goal and the external field at a high level, how many Edmans would we want?
“You obviously do not want 26 because then he will launch. You obviously don't want to 13 because you prefer to have Shohei Ohtani,” said Mintz. “How many guys on this list would you be:” Thank you for the memories, but I will take Tommy Edman n ° 7? “”
According to the hosts, the Dodgers still need Austin Barnes or another rescue receiver, and they do not move any of their stars. But they may have Edman cover the second goal, the central field and most of the benches, replacing Kiké Hernández, Andy Pages, Miguel Rojas, Chris Taylor and Hunter Feduccia. The hosts debated Michael Comforto but decided the dodgers would probably keep their adding.

Including the real Tommy Edman, which adds to six Edmans on the hypothetical list of dodgers.
As Shusterman said, “I think the line is around 5.5 or 6.5 Tommy Edmans you would like, even in this team.”
Doing a step further raises the question of how many Tommy Edmans The other MLB teams want?
“The White Sox would take all the Tommy Edmans but the catchers,” said Mintz.
All the hypotheses apart, for 14 games, Edman is tied for the advance of the Dodgers in the Home Runs with five.
