MLB-NEWS: Milwaukees Brewers and Chicago Cubs have officially agreed for the trading of Brewers elite first baseman, per ESPN, 3-years $137.2 million deal was inked after……..

Even in retirement, Jim Edmonds still clearly loathes the Chicago Cubs.

The Cubs played the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday for the finale of their four-game series. With the Cubs already nursing a 7-3 lead in the eighth inning, designated hitter Christopher Morel took St. Louis reliever Andrew Kittredge deep for a solo homer. After launching the pitch into the seats, Morel tossed his bat off to the side and showed a bit of emotion as he rounded the bases and then crossed the plate.

Edmonds, a Cardinals team Hall of Famer who is now a broadcaster for Bally Sports Midwest, was not pleased with the display and let it be known on the air.

For the 25-year-old Morel, that celebration wasn’t even too over the top. While Morel is indeed a career .229 hitter (who is even worse this year at .202), that also means there is more reason for him to celebrate the few times that he does get a big hit.

But Edmonds, who played for the Cardinals from 2000-07, is still very skilled at the art of hating on the rival Cubs. St. Louis fans may like to see that much more so than the images of Edmonds’ former Cardinals teammate Yadier Molina, who seems far more fond of the Cubs these days
