JAKE EDER JOINS THE ANGELS
The Los Angeles Angels acquired pitcher Jake Eder from the Chicago White Sox for cash.
What does it give the Los Angeles Angels
The Angels will take a chance on Eder, a once highly touted prospect who has really struggled recently. The left-hander is now 26 years old, and he had another rough spring this year, working as a reliever for the first time. A change of scenery could be what he needs, but may be running out of opportunities.
What does it give the Chicago White Sox
This is a very disappointing outcome for the White Sox, who acquired Eder in a one-for-one trade for slugger Jake Burger in 2023. Apparently, Chicago had seen enough. Eder's struggles continued ahead of the 2025 season, so he was designated for assignment shortly before this trade.
Fantasy impact
Eder was always an interesting fantasy prospect due to his strikeout potential, but he will remain off the fantasy radar unless he shows improvement with the Angels. Still, he could be a player to monitor as he joins his new team in the minors.
