The Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Chicago White Sox have agreed to a three-team trade that will send right-handed starter Erick Fedde to the Cardinals, injured super-utility player Tommy Edman to the Dodgers, and a mix of prospects to the White Sox, the teams announced Monday. White Sox reliever Michael Kopech is also going to the Dodgers, Miguel Vargas is going from the Dodgers to the White Sox and veteran outfielder Tommy Pham is headed back to the Cardinals, where he began his career.

Beyond Vargas, the White Sox received two prospects, second baseman Jeral Perez, infielder Alexander Albertus, as well as a player to be named later.

Lost? Here's a chart.

• Dodgers receive: UTL Tommy Edman, RHP Michael Kopech, RHP Oliver Gonzalez
• Cardinals receive: RHP Erick Fedde, OF Tommy Pham, PTBNL from Dodgers
• White Sox receive: OF Miguel Vargas, 2B Jeral Perez, INF Alexander Albertus, PTBNL from Dodgers

Fedde, 31, has been a revelation for the Sox this season in his return to MLB. In 121 2/3 innings in 2024, he's pitched to a 3.11 ERA with only one unearned run allowed and a K/BB ratio of 3.18 across 21 starts for Chicago. 

Well in advance of Tuesday's deadline, CBS Sports ranked Fedde as the No. 15 available trade candidate. Here's part of our write-up:
