St. Louis Cardinals Shake Up Roster Ahead of 2025 MLB Trade Deadline
In a surprising move, the St. Louis Cardinals have made some major changes to their roster just days before the 2025 MLB trade deadline. While most of the focus has been on their bullpen, the Cardinals also made a significant trade involving starting pitcher Erick Fedde.
The Cardinals sent Fedde, along with cash, to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for “future considerations.” This term refers to a small amount of money that will be returned to St. Louis to finalize the deal.
This trade comes as a shock to many fans, as Fedde has been a consistent and reliable starter for the Cardinals. In his four seasons with the team, he has posted a 3.45 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. However, with the Cardinals currently sitting in third place in their division, it seems they are willing to make bold moves in order to improve their chances of making a playoff run.
The Braves, on the other hand, are in desperate need of starting pitching help. With several key injuries to their rotation, Fedde will provide much-needed depth and stability to their pitching staff.
It remains to be seen what “future considerations” the Cardinals will receive in return for Fedde, but it is clear that they are looking towards the future and making strategic moves to strengthen their team. As the trade deadline approaches, it will be interesting to see what other surprises the Cardinals have in store.
The Cardinals Make Roster Moves Ahead of 2025 MLB Trade Deadline
The St. Louis Cardinals have been busy making moves ahead of the 2025 MLB trade deadline. While most of their focus has been on the bullpen, they also made a significant trade involving starting pitcher Erick Fedde.
Cardinals Deal Fedde to Braves for “Future Considerations”
With just a week left before the deadline, the Cardinals sent Fedde and cash to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for “future considerations.” This typically refers to a small amount of money being sent back to the Cardinals to complete the deal.
Braves Release Fedde Just a Month After Acquiring Him
In a surprising turn of events, the Braves have decided to release Fedde just a month after acquiring him from the Cardinals. This move comes as part of a series of roster changes ahead of their game against the New York Mets.
Fedde Struggles with Both Cardinals and Braves
During his time with both the Cardinals and the Braves, Fedde has struggled on the mound. In his five games and four starts with the Braves, he had an 8.10 ERA and a 1-2 record. His latest outing against the Mets resulted in a 12th loss of the year, with a six-run performance in just 4.1 innings.
Former Trade Deadline Pickup Released by Braves
After being designated for assignment by the Cardinals and then traded to the Braves, Fedde’s struggles continued. In his last 10 games, he had a 10.32 ERA across 41 innings of work, leading to his release by the Braves.
Fedde Hits Free Agency, Could Still Sign with a Team
As an eight-year MLB veteran, Fedde is now a free agent and could potentially sign with another team for the remainder of the 2025 season. However, his struggles on the mound have made it difficult for him to find a new home after being released by the Braves just a month after being traded by the Cardinals.
