Brewers 2025 Discussion - Civale to White Sox

[MickeyDavis]

Is this just a move to get Miso on the 40 man and Woody can still come back since he's already done his time?

That's correct, he can come back when he's ready.

Civale’s agent, Jack Toffey, said he made the request to Brewers general manager Matt Arnold after the team informed the pitcher he was moving to the bullpen.

“The conversation was very professional,” Toffey said Thursday. “I just very respectfully said that Aaron would really like an opportunity to continue his career as a starter. He’s going to be a free agent at the end of the year.”

The Brewers are one of the few clubs with a seeming surplus of starting pitching. Toffey said Arnold told him the team was “exploring options.” Arnold did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“I’ve heard from other teams, through their channels of communication, that they have a plethora of starting pitching and are looking for trade partners, maybe not just on Aaron, but maybe another pitcher,” Toffey said. “That’s my understanding.”

Civale is earning $8 million, matching Peralta for the highest salary among Brewers pitchers. The Brewers, operating with the game’s 24th-highest Opening Day payroll, often seek to create opportunities for less expensive options. And Misiorowski is the game’s No. 87 prospect, according to The Athletic’s Keith Law.

“Aaron is not angry or banging his fist on the table,” Toffey said. “But it’s a little confusing because he did not pitch his way out of the rotation whatsoever. It’s more of a subjective choice the organization is making.”

I get it, he's going to be a FA after this year and wants to try to pump up his value. But it rubs me the wrong way when players do this publicly. Request a trade, fine, but STFU about it.

Glad this happened so quickly.

Shane Smith, Vinny Capra, Tyler Alexander, Bryse Wilson, Adrian Houser, and now Aaron Civale. Are the White Sox just Brewers south at this point?

He's been bad, but he was a hot name once upon a time. Only two years of service time left, but I like taking the chance here.

Civale for Vaughn in a vacuum is probably a bad trade(Civale is better than Vaughn), but given our starting rotation depth, taking a flier on Vaughn is atleast something with some upside

Is he starting in Nashville or going to the big league club?

I hope he spends the rest of Nashville's season there.

Interesting that the Brewers were the team to send cash in the deal.

We sent the Yankees cash too. Mark is flush.

Potentially bad news for my large adult son Ernesto Martinez Jr. He just got some legit competition for 1B next season.

Very important question if we can fix Vaughn.

Can we bring back Vaughn's Valley?
