Tell me MO’s not a game changer at GM!

He plays RF for the Cards already

Fedde will replace Grant Holmes, who was placed on the 60-day IL. Holmes gave up 4 runs in 4 innings last night. That's how hard up the Braves are for pitching.

Mo should have traded his whole contract, got 7.5M relief and got SOMETHING back from another team But, he held out for 2.7M relief and NOTHING back. That is some quality RESET work right there.

Probably could have gotten some quality back this past offseason, too.

Sigh...

The Fedde DFA cost the Cards around $250K. They have to pay another player minimum wage to be on the 26-man roster.

I'm guessing this trade saved the Cards around $260K. ATL will pay this much of Fedde's 2025 salary.

Nope

In fairness, let's give Super Slo Mo appropriate credit here.
He made it clear all along that we wanted to trade Fedde at the deadline.
Which is exactly what happened.

Mo again, too clever by half. He wasnt willing to risk a 71-81 season even if it got us decent chips for the future to develop or trade.

Well Mo never did say he expected anything back.

from a Redird Rants article:

No, this cannot be chalked up as a small win that they moved him. This was about as bad a situation as we have seen under Mozeliak's leadership.

This was no trade. It was a release of an asset which had about $10M of value 8 months ago.

Another $10M of assets down the tube on Mo's watch plus we lost 15 of the 20 games pitched by Fedde. That could have happened to another team instead of us.

Outstanding point sir!
On a slightly more serious note, it is reported STL is covering all of the remaining 2.7M of his salary in exchange for future considerations.
That could be very good news and may suggest a new day is "blooming".
Perhaps DeWitt is willing to eat dollars related other contracts also, as the team pivots to new beginning.

Player tbd or cash.

OT: just wondering....does Coca-Cola redeem Pepsi points? Like, what's the exchange rate?

That's why they skipped over his last scheduled start.
