The St. Louis Cardinals Shake Up Their Roster: Designate Struggling Pitcher Erick Fedde for Assignment
In a bold move, the St. Louis Cardinals have made their first significant trade deadline decision of 2025. On Wednesday, they announced the designation of right-handed pitcher Erick Fedde for assignment. This decision comes as no surprise, as Fedde has been struggling on the mound this season for the Cardinals.
Despite having a successful career year with both the Chicago White Sox and St. Louis in 2024, the eight-year veteran has not been able to replicate that success this season. Fedde has become a liability in the rotation and it was clear that the Cardinals needed to make a change.
With the 32-year-old no longer in the rotation, it opens up an opportunity for rising-star Michael McGreevy to prove himself as a big-league starting pitcher. This is a chance that St. Louis manager Oli Marmol is excited to see, as he addressed the decision to DFA Fedde on Wednesday.
Marmol expressed his enthusiasm for McGreevy’s potential and the opportunity for him to step up in the rotation. The young pitcher has been making waves in the minor leagues and now has the chance to showcase his skills at the major league level.
The Cardinals are hoping that this move will bring a much-needed boost to their struggling rotation and help them make a push for the playoffs. As for Fedde, he will now have to wait and see if he will be picked up by another team or if he will remain in the Cardinals’ organization. Only time will tell, but for now, all eyes are on McGreevy as he takes on this new challenge.
