BRAVES BRING IN FEDDE
The Atlanta Braves acquired pitcher Erick Fedde and cash from the St. Louis Cardinals for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
What does it give the Atlanta Braves
Atlanta's pitching staff is dealing with injuries and ineffectiveness, so they will give Fedde a look. The right-hander was solid in his MLB return in 2024, but a stretch of rough starts this season led the Cardinals to designate him for assignment. He has a 5.22 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 20 starts on the year. The Braves will see if he can bounce back after this trade, as they could use a starter who can cover some innings.
What does it give the St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals still have playoff hopes this year, and Fedde had gone 12 consecutive starts without a win. He could still be a capable starter, so St. Louis was able to get a PTBNL (or cash) in return from Atlanta.
Fantasy impact
Fedde had some value in deeper leagues during his impressive 2024 campaign, but all his numbers are down this season. Likely, he will not rebound enough with the Braves either. Keep avoiding him in fantasy baseball.
