The Atlanta Braves going out and acquiring a starting pitcher has changed the plans from what was initially reported for the upcoming series

The Cardinals had a reasonable plan with starting pitcher Erick Fedde. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak hoped the team would stay competitive during his farewell season. Keeping Fedde would help the team do that while also allowing the organization’s pitching prospects to develop without rushing.

Hello everyone, I’m Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk. The Major League Baseball trade deadline is eight days away. And all indications point to St. Louis trading away some of its veteran players in the next week or so.

The St. Louis Cardinals designated Erick Fedde for assignment after acquiring him in a trade with the White Sox and Dodgers last season.
