MLB TRADE ROUNDUP: Three-team swap highlights pre-deadline machinations

The St. Louis Cardinals added starting pitcher Erick Fedde and the Kansas City Royals acquired veteran right-hander Michael Lorenzen as playoff contenders swung deals Monday, the day before MLB's trade deadline.

Right-hander Erick Fedde went 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA in 21 starts for the White Sox after pitching in South Korea last season.

Fedde and outfielder Tommy Pham went from the lowly White Sox to the Cardinals as part of a three-team deal involving seven players. Chicago also sent hard-throwing reliever Michael Kopech to the NL West-leading Dodgers.

Los Angeles also acquired utilityman Tommy Edman from the Cardinals, and the Dodgers sent infield prospects Miguel Vargas, Alexander Albertus and Jeral Perez to Chicago. Later, the Dodgers also acquired utilityman Amed Rosario at the deadline for the second year ina row this time from the Tampa Bay Rays for minor-league pitcher Michael Flynn.
