Cardinals Believed to Be "Open" to Moving Erick Fedde

Rival clubs believe that the St. Louis Cardinals could entertain trade conversations surrounding right-hander Erick Fedde, as reported by Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. While it’s uncertain if these discussions would take place later this spring or at some point during the season, Goold notes that the Cardinals are keen on maintaining their pitching depth. However, the organization is reportedly "open" to making a move that would lower payroll and create an opportunity in the rotation for young right-hander Michael McGreevy.

Fedde, a former first-round pick, has shown promise but also faced inconsistencies during his career. The Cardinals' willingness to consider trading him highlights their strategic approach to managing their roster and financial flexibility. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how these potential trade discussions unfold and the impact they may have on both Fedde and the Cardinals' pitching staff.
