NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Right-hander Erick Fedde and the Chicago White Sox agreed on a two-year, $15 million contract, sources told ESPN on Tuesday, bringing the 30-year-old back into Major League Baseball after he won the MVP of the Korea Baseball Organization in his lone season overseas.
Fedde, a former first-round pick who spent six seasons with the Washington Nationals, joined the NC Dinos in 2023 and went 20-6 with a 2.00 ERA and 209 strikeouts against 35 walks in 180.1 innings. Using a retooled slider that evaluators said had improved drastically, Fedde dominated the KBO and returned stateside with a drastically different market than last year.
