In fact, they finished the regular season with the best record in MLB, but they ran into a buzzsaw called the Los Angeles Dodgers in the postseason and fell short.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6k\">As a result, the Brewers needed to make some big moves this offseason if they wanted to get past the Dodgers in the National League. As a result, they opted to make a few moves this offseason, but they weren&#8217;t moves in the direction that the fans wanted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6n\">Earlier this offseason, the Brewers traded Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets in exchange for Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat. A few weeks later, the Brewers opted to trade Caleb Durbin and more to the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6q\">If you like our content,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">choose Sports Illustrated as a preferred source on Google.<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6t\">These moves should make the Brewers better in the long run, but it doesn&#8217;t excite the fans.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6w\">On Monday, a few hours after the Durbin trade, the Brewers lost another player from their big league club.<\/p>\n<p>Erick Fedde lands with White Sox after short Brewers stint<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/01kh1n6jm3eqpc7tme2t.jpg\" alt=\"Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Erick Fedd\" title=\"Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Erick Fedd\" width=\"4831\" height=\"2717\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"79\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Sep 24, 2025; San Diego, California, USA; Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Erick Fedde (59) delivers during the fourth inning against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.

Fedde was with the White Sox a few years ago before he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7g\">Fedde was designated for assignment by the Brewers earlier this offseason. After that, he elected free agency, which is where he&#8217;s been for the last few months. Now the righty is returning to the team that gave him his second chance in the big leagues.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7j\">Fedde was incredible for the White Sox in 2024, posting 4.6 WAR across 21 impressive starts. Once he was traded, his production began to struggle. Last season, he wasn&#8217;t very impressive, posting -0.6 WAR with three different teams.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7m\">During his short time with the Brewers, the righty made seven appearances out of the bullpen and held a 3.38 ERA across 16 innings. The righty never had a future with the Brewers so it&#8217;s not shocking to see him land with the White Sox again.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7p\">More MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/news-feed\/brewers-caleb-durbin-trade-clears-way-for-highly-touted-prospect-s-debut-zach3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Brewers&#8217; Caleb Durbin Trade Clears Way for Highly Touted Prospect&#8217;s Debut<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers were one of the best teams in baseball last season.
