Why Aaron Civale's White Sox stint could make him a must-watch name ahead of MLB trade deadline
Aaron Civale's fresh chapter with White Sox could be a perfect setup for a major deadline move (Getty Images) Aaron Civale didn't have to wait long for his wish to be granted. After being pushed to the bullpen by the Milwaukee Brewers, the veteran right-hander made it clear that he wanted out if he wasn't going to remain in the starting rotation. Less than 24 hours later, the Brewers responded—sending him to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for struggling first baseman Andrew Vaughn. Traded for Vaughn, Aaron Civale now aims to shine and cash in with White Sox before deadline While the deal sends Aaron Civale from a playoff-contending roster to one of MLB's worst-performing teams this season, the move could work in his favor. 'Just because you ask for a trade, doesn't mean you get to dictate where you go,' the reality for many players lacking a no-trade clause. Still, the White Sox offer something valuable: opportunity. Civale turns 30 this week and carries with him the experience of seven seasons as a starter across Cleveland, Tampa Bay, and Milwaukee. He owns a career 4.06 ERA, and posted a respectable 3.84 ERA across 19 starts for the Brewers after being acquired last July. But with the emergence of flame-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski, who dazzled in his MLB debut with a 102-mph fastball and a no-hit performance into the sixth inning, Civale found himself pushed out of Milwaukee's rotation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The Brewers also included cash in the deal to help balance the financial difference between Civale's $8 million salary and Vaughn's $5.85 million contract. Vaughn, once a highly touted prospect with 77 home runs over four and a half seasons, has seen his stock plummet. He was recently sent down to the minors after posting a career-low .532 OPS. While the White Sox are far from playoff contention, their interest in Civale is strategic. They aren't building around him—but they are hoping he rebuilds his value. With free agency looming, Civale has a window to prove he still belongs in a starting rotation, and not the bullpen. If he delivers strong performances, Chicago could flip him at the trade deadline for a valuable young prospect, and Civale could find himself back on a contender before October. More importantly, his future earnings may depend on how he's perceived over the next few months. 'If he's a bullpen arm, and seen as a bullpen arm, he'll be paid as a bullpen arm.' But if he reestablishes himself as a dependable starter, Civale could land a multi-year deal in the offseason. It's not the destination Civale likely had in mind—but if he delivers on the mound, it might just be the career move that sets him up for success both competitively and financially.

Surprise pitching availability may shift Yankees' trade outlook
Surprise pitching availability may shift Yankees' trade outlook originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Yankees need a starter. The Brewers might be offering more than one. Aaron Civale's agent, Jack Toffey, told The Athletic that Milwaukee is 'looking for trade partners,' and not just for Civale. 'That's my understanding,' Toffey said, 'maybe not just on Aaron, but maybe another pitcher.' Advertisement It's an eyebrow-raiser for a Yankees front office that has been searching for rotation help for weeks. And while Civale is a serviceable back-end option, the more intriguing name here is Freddy Peralta. Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta pitches during the Game 1 of the wild-card playoff game against the New York Mets on Tuesday October 1, 2024 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wis.© Jovanny Hernandez / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Peralta has been connected to the Yankees before and fits the mold: durable, under control, and performing. He's 5–4 with a 2.69 ERA and 78 strikeouts in 77 innings this season. He's holding opponents to a .212 average, with a WHIP just above 1.10. It's not flashy, but it's effective—and it's the kind of production the Yankees could use in the middle of their rotation right now. The Brewers control Peralta through 2026 on a team-friendly deal, which complicates things. But the fact they're willing to listen, and the Yankees are short on stability, makes it worth a call. Advertisement Civale, meanwhile, could be a fallback or depth add. He's posted a 4.91 ERA this season across five starts after suffering a hamstring injury in his first start of the season. He doesn't miss a ton of bats, but he throws strikes and keeps teams in games. He also has a longstanding relationship with Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake, who worked with Civale, a Connecticut native, in college. That wouldn't be a deciding factor, but it helps. The Yankees are without Gerrit Cole for the season after Tommy John surgery. Max Fried and Carlos Rodon have held down the front of the rotation, but Clarke Schmidt and Will Warren have been inconsistent. Ryan Yarbrough, a converted reliever, has held down the fifth spot. Marcus Stroman is returning from injury, but he also was pitching to an 11.57 ERA when he was injured. Advertisement The Yankees need an upgrade to make a playoff push. Peralta is the better arm. Civale is the more affordable one. And if Milwaukee really is open for business, the Yankees have reason to be one of the first in line.

White Sox trade 1B Andrew Vaughn to brewers for RHP Aaron Civale
The Milwaukee Brewers have traded right-hander Aaron Civale and cash to the Chicago White Sox for first baseman Andrew Vaughn. The Brewers moved quickly after they announced they were removing Civale from their rotation. The pitcher said Thursday he wanted to remain a starter even if it meant leaving Milwaukee. One day later, Civale was traded. The Brewers also are sending $807,000 to the White Sox as part of the deal. "We're exploring opportunities for me to get back into a rotation, whether that's here or elsewhere," Civale said Thursday on his 30th birthday. "That type of decision is out of my hands. We're exploring the options to give me the chance to do what I do best, and that's to go out there and start." Civale is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA this season. He has allowed seven runs over 19 innings in four starts since returning from the injured list May 22 after dealing with a strained left hamstring. The Brewers took Civale out of their rotation because they had a surplus of starters after promoting prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who threw five innings of no-hit ball while helping Milwaukee beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 in his major league debut Thursday. Milwaukee's rotation also includes Freddy Peralta (5-4, 2.69 ERA), José Quintana (4-1, 2.66 ERA), Quinn Priester (4-2 3.65 ERA) and Chad Patrick (3-6, 3.25 ERA). Although Civale pitched in relief in two postseason games — one in 2022 with Cleveland and another last year in Milwaukee — all of his regular-season appearances in the major and minor leagues have come in a starting role. Civale, who is 40-37 with a 4.06 ERA in 122 career big league starts, is making $8 million this year and is eligible for free agency at the end of the season. The Brewers acquired Civale in a July trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, who got him in a 2023 trade-deadline deal with the Cleveland Guardians. Civale becomes the third former Brewer to join the White Sox in the last month. The White Sox also claimed infielder Vinny Capra off waivers from the Brewers and signed pitcher Tyler Alexander after Milwaukee designated him for assignment. The 27-year-old Vaughn, who also has made big league starts in right and left field, hit .189 with a .218 on-base percentage, five homers and 19 RBIs in 48 games with Chicago before he was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on May 23. He will report to the Brewers' Triple-A Nashville affiliate. He has a career average of .248 with a .303 on-base percentage, 77 homers and 293 RBIs in 610 games for the White Sox, who selected him out of the University of California with the third overall pick in the 2019 draft. In other moves Friday, the Brewers recalled right-hander Grant Anderson and outfielder Drew Avans from Triple-A Nashville. Outfielder Daz Cameron was placed on the paternity list.
