He\u2019s moving from a postseason hopeful to a team buried in the standings. There are several ways to view the trade. Perhaps the Brewers could only find one team with interest. Or, maybe, after Civale\u2019s request, they sent him to one of the worst possible situations out of spite.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Brewers reportedly acquire 1B Andrew Vaughn from White Sox for RHP Aaron Civale, per multiple reports, including <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fxQ9dsx9IV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/fxQ9dsx9IV<\/a>&#8216;s <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamMcCalvy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@AdamMcCalvy<\/a>. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HfDcfh2npS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/HfDcfh2npS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MLB (@MLB) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLB\/status\/1933532867604459875?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"1016\">Rotation Frustration Sparks Exit<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1297\">Civale\u2019s frustration boiled over when the team pulled him from the rotation. Across five starts, the 30-year-old went 1\u20132 with a 4.91 ERA in just 22 innings. The Brewers made the move to open a spot for top pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who has dominated Triple-A lineups.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1557\">\u201cHe\u2019s got a right to feel how he wants to feel, but now it\u2019s time for him to go behave,\u201d <a  href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdamMcCalvy\/status\/1933270181112910247\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> Brewers manager Pat Murphy. \u201cHe\u2019s got to go pitch for us if we ask him to pitch for us, and I think he will.

They\u2019ll be gaining former top prospect Andrew Vaughn, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. Vaughn was the 3rd overall pick in the 2019 MLB draft, but has yet to break onto the scene. The first baseman has a -1.6 bWAR this season, the second worst in all of baseball. With potentially a fresh opportunity, Vaughn can provide the Brewers with the power as advertised during his time in the minors.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2100\" data-end=\"2137\">New Opportunity on the South Side<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2413\">The White Sox currently sit near the bottom of the AL Central, with little to play for beyond player development and pride. Their rotation has struggled with injuries and inconsistency, giving Civale a real shot to lock down a starting role, but wins will be hard to come by.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2413\">Main Photo Credits: Benny Sieu-Imagn Images<br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just one day after publicly requesting a trade from the Milwaukee Brewers, right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale has been dealt.
