The Atlanta Braves have acquired veteran right-handed starter Erick Fedde from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for cash or a player to be named later. The Braves, who announced the trade on Sunday, will also receive cash considerations in the trade. Earlier in the week, the Cardinals designated the struggling Fedde for assignment.

The St. Louis Cardinals agreed to a trade to send Erick Fedde to the Atlanta Braves and it's likely just the beginning of their deadline activity.

The Erick Fedde era in St. Louis officially ended on Sunday, when the Cardinals traded him and cash considerations to the Braves for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
