Brewers Trade Aaron Civale to White Sox for Vaughn

The Milwaukee Brewers traded pitcher Aaron Civale to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for first baseman Andrew Vaughn, following Civale's request for a trade after his demotion to the bullpen. Vaughn, who was hitting .189 and had recently been sent to Triple-A, will begin his tenure with the Brewers' Triple-A Nashville affiliate. Civale, who owns a 4.91 ERA this season, is expected to join the White Sox starting rotation, providing a veteran presence for the rebuilding team and possibly serving as a trade asset later. The deal addresses pitching needs for Chicago and gives Milwaukee a chance to revitalize Vaughn's career. Both players were considered expendable due to performance issues and roster shifts. The trade has drawn notable attention for its timing and as a direct response to Civale’s public trade request.
