The Atlanta Braves struggled with pitching depth in 2024 and their situation has only gotten worse. Ace Spencer Strider likely won’t be back until around the mid-season mark. Max Fried and Charlie Morton have both left in free agency and the Braves haven’t done anything to replace this production.<\/p>\n

Atlanta will need to add a few pitchers before the season begins if it plans on competing with the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter recently predicted the\u00a0Braves to swing a blockbuster trade\u00a0with the St. Louis Cardinals to acquire starting pitcher Erick Fedde.<\/p>\n

\n

Here’s the deal pitched by Reuter that would send Fedde to the Braves:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Atlanta Braves receive: RHP Erick Fedde<\/li>\n
  • St. Louis Cardinals receive: RHP Bryce Elder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    “Right-hander Erick Fedde returned from a wildly successful stint in the KBO last season on a two-year, $15 million deal with the Chicago White Sox, and he pitched well enough to be an in-demand trade chip, eventually landing in St. Louis on his way to posting a 3.30 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 154 strikeouts in 177.1 innings,” Reuter wrote. “With a team-friendly $7.5 million salary, he is a logical target for any team looking to add a quality arm to the middle of the rotation.<\/p>\n

    “The Atlanta Braves could opt to rely on some combination of Grant Holmes, Ian Anderson, AJ Smith-Shawver, Hurston Waldrep, Bryce Elder, Dylan Dodd, and Davis Daniel to fill the holes in the rotation created by the departures of Max Fried and Charlie Morton.”<\/p>\n

    The Braves need stability in their starting rotation more than anything. While Fedde is still a bit of a question mark, he’s much more of a sure thing than Elder is.<\/p>\n

    Elder pitched himself out of Atlanta with his performance in 2024. A career reset with a rebuilding team like the Cardinals would be best for the young righty.<\/p>\n

    This is the kind of trade that pushes both teams in the direction they’re trying to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
