Reports: Atlanta Braves keen on signing $7.5M hitman but face tough competition to get deal done

Atlanta Braves Eye $7.5M Pitching Addition, But Face Fierce Competition for Erick Fedde

The Atlanta Braves are reportedly interested in acquiring St. Louis Cardinals starter Erick Fedde, who is coming off a breakout season. With a reasonable $7.5M salary for 2025, Fedde presents an attractive option for teams like the Braves, who are looking to stabilize their rotation. With questions surrounding the health of pitchers like Spencer Strider, the Braves could use Fedde to add depth and insurance.

However, the Cardinals are not keen on dismantling their roster, especially after Fedde’s strong performance last year. While the Braves are a potential suitor, the Cardinals may be reluctant to part with him, especially given their recent plans to remain competitive and avoid a full teardown. As the Winter Meetings approach, the future of Fedde—and the Cardinals’ rotation—remains uncertain.
