Tommy Edman reflects on what it was like to be dealt at the Trade Deadline and go on to win the World Series 💍 https://t Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: The switch-hitter became a postseason fixture after returning to action late in the season. His October included an NLCS MVP award after an 11-RBI series.

Why it matters: His versatility filled several lineup and defensive needs during October. The run showed how a player acquired while sidelined can become central within months.

By the numbers: Edman scored six runs and posted a .988 OPS across the five-game World Series.

What to watch: This year's deadline additions will offer the next comparison when the postseason begins.
