The Cardinals traded Edman to the Dodgers at the 2024 trade deadline, where he won NLCS MVP honors and helped the Dodgers win the 2024 World Series.
Edman graduated from La Jolla Country Day School in La Jolla, California in 2013, where he was selected to an All-Academic Team.

In 2017, he played for the Peoria Chiefs, Palm Beach Cardinals, and Springfield Cardinals, batting a combined .261 with five home runs and 55 RBIs in 119 games between the three clubs.
Edman began the 2018 season with Springfield, where he was named a Texas League All-Star. He reached base in 32 straight games, breaking Springfield's all-time record. He was promoted to the Memphis Redbirds at the end of the season, helping them win the Pacific Coast League (PCL) title and was named a co-MVP of the PCL playoffs, along with teammate Randy Arozarena.

Over 92 regular-season games with St. Louis in 2019, Edman slashed .304/.350/.500 with 11 home runs, 36 RBIs, and 15 stolen bases in 16 attempts. He had the fastest sprint speed of all major league third basemen at 29.4 feet/second. In the post-season, he had six hits, including three doubles, in 19 at-bats in the National League Division Series (NLDS) but was hitless in 14 at-bats in the National League Championship Series (NLCS) against the Washington Nationals.
