Angels Acquire Jake Eder From White Sox

The Chicago White Sox have traded left-handed pitcher Jake Eder to the Los Angeles Angels for cash considerations after designating him for assignment. Eder, a former notable prospect who underwent Tommy John surgery in 2021, has struggled to find his form, posting a 6.52 ERA in 165 2/3 minor league innings since returning. The Angels are hoping to provide Eder with an opportunity to develop further, as they currently lack pitching depth. He has been assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake, where he will join other optionable arms in the minor leagues. Eder's performance will be closely monitored as the Angels look to bolster their rotation. The trade marks another chapter in Eder's career after he made his major league debut with the White Sox in September 2024.
