Aaron Civale gets Brewers trade wish granted — but ends up with MLB doormat
NY Post
Aaron Civale should’ve been careful what he wished for.
The right-handed pitcher was granted his request of getting traded from the Brewers — with one brutal caveat. He’s headed to the horrendous White Sox.
The Post’s Jon Heyman reported the trade Friday morning, and according to FanSided’s Robert Murray, the Brewers are acquiring first baseman Andrew Vaughan in exchange for Civale and cash.
Civale, 30, requested a trade from Milwaukee after getting informed he’d been demoted from the rotation to the bullpen with the arrival of prospect Jacob Misiorowski.
“I just very respectfully said that Aaron would really like an opportunity to continue his career as a starter,” Civale’s agent, Jack Toffey, told The Athletic of his message to the Brewers’ front office. “He’s going to be a free agent at the end of the year.”
Civale should have no issues breaking into the White Sox rotation, which is one of the worst in baseball as it stands.
Through an otherwise turbulent start to the Rangers 2025-26 campaign, one player has held steady.
Perhaps it will be much ado about nothing.
The Cowboys have not enjoyed the year they would have liked, but that didn’t stop Jerry Jones from spreading some cheer before the team’s Christmas Day Game.
The Ravens are likely already at a disadvantage heading into Saturday.
It’s almost that time of year.
There’s a long way to go this offseason, but already there are clear winners. Our halfway winter winners:
Look, nobody thought this Jets team was going to the Super Bowl this year. The flaws were evident all offseason. They had no depth at wide receiver. They were rolling the dice with Justin Fields at quarterback. They had issues on the defensive line and in the secondary.
Charles Barkley is irate over the NFL trying to steal Christmas from the NBA.
Steve Kerr was out of line.
Despite the seven-goal goal Festivus the Rangers threw in Washington on Tuesday, the holiday month was short on joy and cheer.
The Mets were active Christmas Eve, signing right-handed journeyman Mike Baumann to a minor league contract, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported.
For as talented a scorer he is, one Karl-Anthony Towns tendency is constantly ruining offensive possessions.
It was exactly 1 p.m. Christmas Eve, and the Giants were just beginning their first full practice of the week for their second-to-last game of this miserable losing season.
