Even after they traded for him, he was still injured, and could not make an impact immediately for the team. He had not played at all until he was traded to the Dodgers. The Dodgers had spent over a billion dollars during the offseason to bring them back to the World Series, and yet one of their best additions came in the middle of the season.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"tie-fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Dodgers Win 1st NL Pennant Since 2020, Champagne Celebration, Ohtani Interview, World Series Bound!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sMLWC-9iFBM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"\" data-origheight=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhen we got him, we said \u2018NLCS MVP or bust.\u2019 So fortunately, we don\u2019t bust,\u201d Friedman joked.<\/p>\n<p>Edman has been incredible in the postseason, hitting .341 so far. He recorded at least one hit in every game of the NLCS, and two hits in each of the last three games of the series. His play made the Dodgers move him to fourth in the lineup, and he came through in that position. During Game 6 of the NLCS, with the Dodgers trailing 1-0 early in the game, Edman doubled to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead. He added to the Dodgers\u2019 lead, hitting a two-run home run in the third inning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarly in the year, I never thought I would be in this situation today,\u201d Edman said, via\u00a0Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. \u201cEverything lined up for me to be on this team and have the success that we\u2019ve had. Now we\u2019re going to the World Series.

I can\u2019t say enough about the front office being able to acquire him at the deadline,\u201d manager Dave Roberts said. \u201cWhat he can do for us on the field, in the clubhouse, it\u2019s just amazing. I never imagined once we acquired him, he\u2019d be hitting fourth in a postseason game. But I trust him. The guys trust him. He\u2019s made huge defensive plays for us and had huge hits.
