REPORTS: Cardinals to acquire Erick Fedde, trade Tommy Edman in three-team deal

ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals are finalizing a three-team trade that would bring veteran starter Erick Fedde to St. Louis and send Tommy Edman to the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to several reports.

Ken Rosenthal, baseball insider for The Athletic, first reported of the deal. Sources have since confirmed with ESPN's Jeff Passan and MLB.com's Mark Fiensand. The Cardinals have yet to formally announce the trade as of 1 p.m. Monday.

Erick Fedde presumably joins the Cardinals after a strong season with the last-place Chicago White Sox (7-4 record, 3.11 ERA, 108 strikeouts, 121.1 IP). He was building a career year with a Chicago White Sox team that leads MLB in losses.

Fedde previously spent six seasons with the Washington Nationals as an average starting pitcher at best, though reestablished himself after taking a one-year break last year to pitch overseas in the KBO. He is in the first season of a two-year, $15 million contract, which makes him an inexpensive option that the Cardinals have largely desired in past seasons.
