ARLINGTON, Texas—Right-hander Aaron Civale is now a member of the Chicago White Sox. the trade from the Milwaukee Brewers gives him a day to acclimate before his start Sunday. This marks Civale’s third consecutive season being traded mid-year.
Civale was acquired by Milwaukee from Tampa Bay in July 2023, after beginning his career in Cleveland. He expressed relief at having a day to settle in, contrasting it with his experience last year when he pitched on the same day he joined the Brewers.
“Last year, I met the team the day I pitched,” Civale said. “So just have to rely on that experience and then go in there and do what I do best.It’s going to be an adjustment period.”
The Brewers traded Civale, who will be eligible for free agency after the season, for first baseman Andrew Vaughn and $807,000. The move came a day after Milwaukee informed Civale, who just turned 30, that he was being removed from the starting rotation.
Civale emphasized his desire to remain a starter, which ultimately led to the trade. He has started all 122 of his major league games, plus 86 minor league games.
“I feel like I have a lot left to give to this game as a starting pitcher,” Civale said. “That’s how I prepare in the offseason, both physically and mentally.”
This season, Civale is 1-2 with a 4.91 ERA and an $8 million salary.Since returning from a strained left hamstring on May 22, he has allowed seven runs in 19 innings over four starts. His career record stands at 40-37 with a 4.06 ERA. He was 7-5 with a 3.84 ERA in 19 starts for Milwaukee.
After learning of the trade Friday, Civale and his wife packed up their Milwaukee-area home and flew to Texas to meet his new team.
“It’s definitely a younger team on the rise,” he said. “Played against this team many times with my time in Cleveland. So exciting to have the opportunity to be here and see what I can do, and see how I can definitely help.”
What’s next
Civale is scheduled to start for the White Sox in their series finale against the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
