Brewers Trade Aaron Civale to White Sox for Andrew Vaughn

This deal fulfills Civale’s wish to remain a starter after a bullpen move, bringing Andrew Vaughn to Milwaukee to shore up first base.

Overview

  • Civale requested a trade on June 12 after being shifted from Milwaukee’s rotation to the bullpen to make room for prospect Jacob Misiorowski.
  • The Brewers sent right-hander Aaron Civale and cash to the White Sox in exchange for first baseman Andrew Vaughn.
  • Civale is making $8 million this season and is eligible for free agency after 2025, while Vaughn, earning $5.85 million, hit .189 with five home runs before a Triple-A demotion.
  • Chicago, with a 23-46 record, plans to insert Civale into its rotation to add veteran stability during a rebuild.
  • Vaughn arrives in Milwaukee with one year of arbitration control remaining, giving the Brewers added financial and roster flexibility.
