The St. Louis Cardinals appear to be considering trading starting pitcher Erick Fedde, who was acquired last year. Rival executives suggest the team may engage in discussions to offload him in a bid to trim payroll, particularly to open a spot for promising young pitcher Michael McGreevy. While Fedde, now 32, has had a mixed career, he showed improvement after returning from a season in Korea, finishing with a 7-4 record with the White Sox before being dealt to the Cardinals. With the Cardinals' outlook for the season not as competitive, the organization may prioritize financial flexibility and youth development.
