Fedde, 29, is still looking to establish himself in the majors — a fact that makes him relatable for many of the teammates he was communicating with in his new role.
Before July 30, 2021, when the Nationals traded nearly a third of their roster for prospects, they were an older team with a history of union involvement. And going back even further, at the end of the 2020 season, they had Scherzer, Turner and reliever Sean Doolittle as their rep and alternate reps, respectively. Labor discussions were common in the clubhouse and during batting practice. Scherzer, for one, was known for educating younger teammates about the looming battle with owners.
“A lot of it was focused on getting young players paid quicker, right? Or making the pre-arbitration experience slightly more lucrative with increased minimum salaries,” said reliever Kyle Finnegan, who is still a full season of major league service time away from being arbitration-eligible. “It was nice to know our guy was someone who’s in a similar boat as me. I don’t think everyone in my shoes across the league could say that, which of course is okay, too.
