    Eight-time Gold Glove-winning center fielder Jim Edmonds, who was due in Cardinals camp Friday on a non-roster contract, is retiring, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    The Cardinals are expected to make a formal announcement later in the day. Edmonds, who is nursing a right foot injury, informed Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak of his decision, the Post-Dispatch reports.
