Pitcher Erick Fedde returns to the Chicago White Sox on a 1-year deal

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Erick Fedde had a successful short stint with the Chicago White Sox in 2024.

The right-hander is returning to the team after agreeing to a one-year deal Monday, a source confirmed to the Tribune. The move is pending a physical.

Fedde joined the Sox in 2024 after a season pitching in the Korea Baseball Organization. He went 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA in 21 starts for the Sox before being dealt to the St. Louis Cardinals in late July that year as part of a three-team trade that also included the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fedde had a 3.72 ERA in 10 starts for the Cardinals in 2024. He had a rocky 2025, going 4-13 with a 5.49 ERA in 32 outings (24 starts) for the Cardinals, Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers.

Fedde, who turns 33 this month, is 34-55 with a 4.94 ERA in 165 career outings (143 starts) over eight major-league seasons with the Washington Nationals (2017-22), Sox (2024), Cardinals (2024-25), Braves (2025) and Brewers (2025). He has 589 strikeouts and 310 walks in 772 2/3 career innings.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post and MLB Network initially reported Monday’s signing. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Fedde gives the Sox another option on the mound as spring training begins Tuesday with the first workout for pitchers and catchers at Camelback Ranch.
