Fedde to Braves

[Sweet Jones]

Cards traded Fedde to Braves not sure what we got back yet.

Chicken and waffles?

50% off Lemon Pepper Wings at Magic City through the end of Fedde's time in Atlanta.

[brock118]

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.

Well Mo never did say he expected anything back.

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.

First off let's clear this up. The mlbtraderumors.com article is written poorly about that. If you click on the link, the quote from the link says the majority of his remaining salary. Not the full amount. Unless you have seen it somewhere else different. 95% of the time it means the Braves are just paying the minimum salary and the Cards pick up the rest like I mentioned earlier and others also chimed in. They aren't paying the full amount. The real question is how much the Braves will send back if not a PTBNL which is probably some 17 year old relief pitcher.

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.

By MLB transaction standard it was a trade, so mo did trade him. Lol

Your larger point is founded though. A salary dump officially being designated a trade.

Someone would likely have picked him up for major league minimum. I have no doubt of that
as pitching is depleted. 280K for around 60 games is nothing. So the question is how much of a premium did the Braves pay to ensure they got him?
Their words,

"As part of the deal, the Cardinals will cover the majority of what remains of Fedde's $7.5 million salary for 2025, a source told ESPN."

----
They will either get a little additional over prorated minimum of 280K or they will get a scrub player.

That's a far cry from a prospect who projects to maybe a utility player or reliever.

Either

[Vacardfan1964]

Every nickel counts. Got as much production from Fedde as Edman on IL.

Another awesome job Mo.

Yep, I figured it out there are 63 days left in the season, so the minimum salary would come out to $257,419. I wonder how much the return would be from the Braves in cash. Unfortunately if it is less than $1 million, they don't have to disclose the amount from what I have heard.

[Ozziesfan41]

Player coming back is to be named “Worthless.”
Tell me MO’s not a game changer at GM!

Mel did say cards should keep Fedde and try to win easy obvious correct then if not they could trade him at the deadline for a better return than they could have in the offseason lol

[greyhawk]

Per MLBTR and ESPN, the Cards will pick up the approximately $2.7M left on Fedde's salary.

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.

Yeah, I was wondering why the Braves would even want Fedde, since they're practically out of the race.

would anyone be surprised if the braves flip him to either the cubs or brewers before 7/31?? not sure it really matters as fedde has shown what he is but it would be funny if that happened and he performed decently for the remainder of the season.

[RunSup]

If "cash considerations" means the Cardinals got some International Signing Pool money back from the Braves, this is about as good as the Cardinals were going to get for Fedde.

Maybe Mo/Bloom showed a hint of shrewdness in making the best of the debacle.

Per MLBTR

... the Cards will be covering the approximately $2.7MM remaining on Fedde’s $7.5MM salary for the 2025 season. The deal has been officially announced by the Braves, including the detail that the Cards will receive cash considerations or a player to be named later in return

Do you even read the links you posted? Thought you were supposed to so smart. The link on Gonzalez, which is the link this all came from, says THE MAJORITY...NOT THE FULL AMOUNT. Like I already stated and explained thoroughly before.

Aren’t the Braves very close to the tax?
This would help them and Fedde gets a shot. The money was gone anyway.
The PTBNL allows both flexibility with the 40 man
and the actual player coming back.

The PTBNL probably can't even sniff the 40 man roster. It is probably a pick of a bunch of low A guys or DSL guys that are probably more suspect than prospect. The Braves probably will be saving money by putting Fedde on the payroll becuase he will be making league minimum only and the guy going back to the minors is probably making more than that or it will break even.

If Fedde does well with Atlanta, will that then turn attention to Cardinals' coaching? Is there something the Braves scouts saw in Fedde that the Cardinals failed to notice and fix? Will that then turn attention to Gray? Tuesday's Atlanta start will be telling.

Fedde is a journeyman pitcher who had a career 3/4 of a season last year. He will not turn it around in Atlanta. But like many have said should have traded him in the off season.

Fair point.
The next 2 months should be interesting either way.
