He was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers as the 6th pick overall of the 1974 amateur draft. Edge was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 1976 expansion draft. Edge played his only season in the Major Leagues in 1979, in which the 6'3" right-hander made nine starts for the Blue Jays. He pitched 51? innings, won 3 games, lost 4, completed one game, gave up 60 hits, 30 earned runs, walked 24 batters, and struck out 19. The Blue Jays released Edge prior to the start of the 1980 season. On April 10, he signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Braves. Edge spent two seasons with Atlanta's Triple-A affiliate, the Richmond Braves. Before the 1982 season, Edge was traded from the Braves to the Chicago White Sox for Mike Colbern.
