Former KBO MVP pitcher Erick Fedde is set to return to the Chicago White Sox.
MLB.com, citing sources, reported on Monday that the White Sox have agreed to a one-year contract with the right-hander. The team has not announced the deal, but only a physical remains, the report said.
Fedde starred for the NC Dinos in 2023, going 20-6 with a 2.00 ERA and 209 strikeouts to win the regular-season MVP and the pitching Golden Glove.
He returned to the majors in 2024 after signing a two-year, $15 million deal with the White Sox. He made 31 appearances that season and went 9-9 with a 3.30 ERA.
Last year, he struggled after stints with the St. Louis Cardinals, Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers, going 4-12 with a 5.76 ERA in 32 games. After moving to the bullpen in Milwaukee, he rebounded with a 3.38 ERA over seven outings, pitching 16 innings.
MLB.com said Fedde’s sweeper and changeup remain effective, noting opponents are hitting just .191 against his sweeper.
