Pitchers with expiring contracts are always a hot commodity at each year\u2019s trade deadline.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Why a Trade With the St. Louis Cardinals Makes Sense<\/h2>\n<p>The St. Louis Cardinals are not necessarily a team on the decline. At 36-34, they are six games back of the Chicago Cubs for first place in the NL Central, but their division and Wild Card hopes are nowhere near dead. Way too many games are remaining in the season for the Cardinals\u2019 front office to sell pieces.<\/p>\n<p>However, FanSided\u2019s Zach Pressnell sees St. Louis as a team in need of a bat and believes they may move one of their starters in return. Pressnell identified right-hander Erick Fedde as a player likely to be dealt at the deadline, and sees the New York Yankees as an ideal fit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees could be the perfect landing spot for Fedde for a few reasons. The Bronx Bombers need a consistent starter, and Fedde would give them that for an affordable prospect return,\u201d Pressnell wrote Wednesday. \u201cFedde\u2019s contract expires at the end of the season so that it wouldn\u2019t tie the Yankees into a long-term situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Fedde, the 2023 Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) Most Valuable Player, is 3-6 with a 3.65 ERA, 1.278 WHIP, and averages 5.8 strikeouts per nine innings in 14 starts. If the Yankees were to acquire the 32-year-old, it\u2019s not probable he\u2019d replace veteran Clarke Schmidt or rising youngster Will Warren. Instead, the Yankees would likely prefer to move lefty Ryan Yarbrough back to the bullpen and have Fedde be their fifth starter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Have Potentially Valuable MLB Players in Minors<\/h2>\n<p>While Fedde\u2019s return package should not be steep, the Cardinals ought to try to acquire a player or two from the Yankees\u2019 farm system that is near ready for major league at-bats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a deal for Fedde, the Cardinals would likely look to target the same power-hitting outfielder as the Reds. Adding [Everson] Pereira would be a massive addition for St. Louis\u2019 farm system,\u201d wrote Pressnell. \u201cIt would give the Cardinals another powerful option besides Jordan Walker in the outfield.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New York Yankees\u2019 outfield is logjammed with Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Jasson Dominguez, and Trent Grisham, leaving New York with no option but to keep Pereira stashed at Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n<p>At 24 and with 27 games of MLB experience with the Yankees in 2023, Pereira is an outfielder ready for an opportunity with another organization. He has an .828 OPS with 10 home runs and a .478 slugging percentage in 42 games at Triple-A this year and could provide more stability than Jordan Walker, who owns a poor .583 OPS and -0.5 WAR in 47 games with the Cardinals before landing on the 10-day injured list.<\/p>\n<p>Conor Liguori is a sports journalist covering the MLB for Heavy Sports.
