Fedde and other considerations

[Chubbs0910]

I think his success boils down to 2 things.

His sweeper which he throws a ton.

Control which I'm pretty impressed with.

A nice player to have while his contract is low, but not one id invest big money or term in.

What is a 33 y/o with 30 starts and with a 1.25 - 1.3 WHIP worth to the Cards who will have several job opportunities in 2026?

In 2024 they spent for

37 y/o Lynn's with a recent 1.30ish WHIP
36 y/o Gibsons with his recent 1.30ish WHIP
35 y/o Mikolas with his recent 1.27+ WHIP
33 y/o Matz and his 1.30+ WHIP and low durability

The cheapest being Lynn's $11 million.

Now if we don't like Fedde, then no reason to pursue. That need or job opening
however will be there in 2026. I'm thinking 3/$36-$40 is a comparative bargain.

In like 2010 maybe. If he duplicates 2024 he'll be making Mikolas money minimum.

Maybe,
That's beyond what Wacha just got with less track record at 3/$51

What I expect will be true is that we'll look back on his 2024 season as his "career year" that he won't replicate going forward.

As noted this past winter, the Cardinals mistake wasn't acquiring Fedde last year - but it probably was not making it a priority to move him this past offseason.

That’s really deep Matt.

He's right.

That is one possibility.
