A former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder was reportedly shocked when he found out the organization was shopping to deal him to another club at the trade deadline.
The St. Louis Cardinals patiently waited for their moment to strike at the trade deadline this summer and seized the opportunity when it arose.
There were a plethora of rumors and speculations in the weeks leading up to the deadline on who the Cardinals were going to target but insider information wasn't released until the final days."'It was very shocking,' Edman said," The Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett wrote on July 30. “I haven’t heard of too many guys getting traded while on the injured list, so I kind of thought that my name wasn’t going to be a part of it.
Edman was projected to be the Cardinals' starting center fielder at the beginning of the season but pain from offseason wrist surgery and a sprained ankle he suffered during his rehab assignment have kept him sidelined all year.The utility man has a bright future ahead of him and it's a shame unfortunate circumstances led to the end of his tenure with St. Louis. Trading Edman was a shocking move and it should be interesting to see how he plays for the Dodgers.
