Trade News Breaks Ahead of Series with Texas Rangers
The Chicago White Sox are gearing up to face the Texas Rangers in a series starting tonight in Arlington, TX. However, the morning brought surprising news as reports emerged that the White Sox are set to acquire right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale from the Milwaukee Brewers. Civale had reportedly requested a trade from the Brewers just yesterday.
In exchange for Civale, the Brewers will receive Andrew Vaughn from Chicago. Civale, who has made 122 career starts, brings a wealth of experience with him. This season, he boasts a 1-2 record with a 4.91 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP, and 19 strikeouts in 22 innings. Last season with the Brewers, Civale went 6-3 with a 3.53 ERA in 14 starts.
Vaughn, on the other hand, has been a consistent presence for the White Sox, playing in 610 career games. This season, he has posted a .189 batting average with a .531 OPS, including eight doubles, five home runs, and 19 RBI. Throughout his career, Vaughn has proven to be a valuable asset with a .248 batting average and a .709 OPS.
