GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Chicago White Sox<\/a> are nearing an agreement on a one-year contract with free agent pitcherErick Fedde<\/a>, sources tell ESPN.<\/p>\n

Fedde, 32, pitched for Chicago in 2024 before being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> that summer. Last season, the right-hander spent time with the Cardinals, Atlanta Braves<\/a> and Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> before hitting the free agent market.<\/p>\n

Overall, he was 4-13 with a 5.49 ERA in 32 games including 24 starts.<\/p>\n

The White Sox have been looking for a veteran arm to add to their stable of young starters. The familiarity with Fedde undoubtedly helped his case to return to Chicago, where he signed a 2-year, $15 million contract before the 2024 season. He was 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA in 2024 before the trade to the Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Chicago has had an active winter, adding Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami as well as outfielder Austin Hays<\/a> to go along with pitchers Seranthony Dominguez<\/a> and Jordan Hicks<\/a>, who they acquired in a trade with the Boston Red Sox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The team is hoping to avoid a fourth consecutive 100-loss season as they continue a slow rebuild. Adding Fedde could provide some length in the rotation while taking pressure off some younger, highly touted arms in their system.<\/p>\n
