Overview

  • Civale requested a trade two days after losing his rotation spot to prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who tossed five no-hit innings in his debut
  • The 30-year-old right-hander has started all 122 of his MLB regular-season appearances and aims to remain in a rotation
  • Milwaukee adds first baseman Andrew Vaughn, a former third-overall pick who hit .189 with five homers before a Triple-A demotion
  • The Brewers also sent cash to Chicago to cover salary differences between Civale’s $8 million deal and Vaughn’s contract
  • Chicago, sitting 23–46, plans to integrate Civale into its starter mix as he pitches through a contract year
