The Toronto Blue Jays seem to be looking at all options in terms of acquiring pitchers and could be interested in a trade with the St Louis Cardinals for Erick Fedde.
The Blue Jays starting rotation needs some help this off-season and while the free agent market is loaded with talent, they might explore other options such as a trade which could help them for the 2025 season.
The Toronto Blue Jays could be interested in a trade with the Cardinals for Erick Fedde
The Cardinals are currently in a tough spot as they are looking to shakeup their roster quite a bit as they will probably be moving on from some of their older players and begin a rebuild.
: The St. Louis Cardinals appear to be in the midst of a shakeup, and Fedde is one of the more interesting players who could be pried away. -Ashbourne
One player that has seems to be a prime trade target is pitcher Erick Fedde who put up solid numbers last season with a 3.30 ERA in 1177 innings pitched in 2024 for the Cardinals.
Fedde is headed into the last year of his contract in 2025 which is another reason the Cardinals might look to move him and with his skill and a salary of $7.5 million, he would be a perfect fit for the Blue Jays.
Fedde is still a pitcher who leans on command over stuff, and he'll have difficulty replicating his 2024 results. At the same time, he costs just $7.5 million and has been durable recently, with at least 27 starts made in each of the last four years. -Ashbourne
Clearly fans in Toronto would probably like to see a pitcher such as Max Fried or Blake Snell signed this off-season, adding Fedde could definitely be a solid third option at a cheap price.
