Erick Fedde, White Sox Agree to 1-Year Deal

The Chicago White Sox have agreed to a one-year deal with right-handed starter Erick Fedde, a source told MLB.com. The club has not confirmed the deal, which is pending a physical.

Fedde's 2025 Season

Fedde, 33, hoped to build on a strong 2024 (3.30 ERA, 5.6 bWAR in 31 starts with the White Sox and Cardinals) but struggled for most of 2025. In 25 games (24 starts) with the Cardinals and Braves he went 4-12 with a 5.76 ERA, a 1.57 WHIP, and a 13.3% strikeout rate. After being released by the Braves he signed with the Brewers on Aug. 27 and pitched exclusively in relief: 3.38 ERA in seven games (16 innings), including four straight scoreless outings, with a .186 opponent average and 1.13 WHIP—suggesting a future as a long-relief option.

Arsenal

Fedde has a four-pitch mix (sinker, cutter, sweeper, changeup). In 2025 only his sweeper (.191 BA, 26% whiff) and changeup (.212 BA) found consistent success. In eight big league seasons with the Nationals, White Sox, Cardinals, Braves, and Brewers he is 34-55 with a 4.94 ERA in 772 2/3 innings.
