The Toronto Blue Jays are in need of a starting pitcher which apparently they are eyeing St Louis Cardinals pitcher Erick Fedde for the trade deadline.
The Blue Jays have made it clear that their main concern at the deadline is acquiring a starting pitcher as they have dealt with a ton of injury issues with consistencies and injuries.
The Blue Jays are looking to acquire Erick Fedde from the Cardinals at the trade deadline
The Cardinals are in a tough spot as they are looking to make a big push for the playoffs in the National League which makes them buyers at the trade deadline despite a few exceptions.
According to reports, Fedde is a pending free agent at the end of the season and which is why even if the Cardinals are buyers, they will likely look to move him at the deadline.
But, there's still a way for the Cardinals to flip a pending free agent and still contend. Erick Fedde was listed as the No. 30 trade candidate of the summer. Dealing him would bring back a solid return and open the door for Michael McGreevy on a consistent basis.

MLB insider Jeff Passan named a few teams that could be interested in Fedde as the San Diego Padres, Houston Astros and Toronto Blue Jays came up while Toronto seems to be the clear best fit.
"No. 30. Erick Fedde, SP, St. Louis Cardinals," Passan and McDaniel said. "Chance of trade: 50 percent. Fedde's strikeout and walk numbers have regressed from his breakout 2024 season (after coming back from a stint in the KBO League), but he's allowing less damage on batted balls to keep himself in the rotation. Best fits: (San Diego Padres), Toronto, (Houston Astros)." -Passan
Fedde has been decent for the Cardinals this season with a 4.11 ERA in 87.2 innings pitched and a 3-7 record but a possible change in scenery could be what he needs to return to his form from last season.
