Former MLB outfielder Jim Edmonds has expressed that changes in the culture of the St. Louis Cardinals have made being involved with the team “not enjoyable anymore.” Consequently, he will be stepping away from the team’s local broadcast team this season.

In a radio interview with ESPN 101 in St. Louis on Monday morning, Edmonds, who donned a Cardinals jersey for eight seasons from 2000 to 2007, announced that he and the franchise have amicably chosen to part ways after serving as a television analyst for 12 years.

Edmonds did not shy away from voicing his thoughts on the organization.

“I haven’t really been going to spring training over the past couple of years. It’s just not enjoyable anymore,” Edmonds explained in a social media transcription shared by Cardinals Talk. “They don’t make you feel like you’re valued. … It’s just not the same place. It’s not the same organization. It’s no longer enjoyable to be around.”

Over his 17-season Major League Baseball career, mainly with the Cardinals and Angels, Edmonds hung up his spikes in 2010. He received eight Gold Gloves for his performance as a center fielder, was selected as an All-Star four times, and earned a World Series championship with St. Louis in 2006.

He was honored with induction into the Cardinals Hall of Fame in 2014, having commenced his broadcasting career with the team just a year prior.
