Edmonds made $86 million in his 17 year career. He'd have to be really stupid to no longer be well-off but people have blown through more. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/edmonji01.shtml

It's absolutely possible that it's producer-manufactured drama but I will say, I live about 5 blocks away from that Whittier home and my grandmother actually lives like four houses down and I didn't know there were train tracks behind my grandma's house until a few months after she moved in. It's a seldom-used line covered by high fences. I could totally see someone not noticing the tracks.
