Sources: Civale to ChiSox after bullpen pushback
Briefly

Aaron Civale has been traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Chicago White Sox following his opposition to being moved to the bullpen. Civale, who has a historical record as a starter, insisted he wanted to continue in that role even if it meant leaving Milwaukee. This trade coincides with the Brewers' decision to promote rookie Jacob Misiorowski to their pitching rotation. Meanwhile, the White Sox have struggled in recent seasons, making Civale's transition to a losing team notable in contrast to the Brewers' recent success.
Civale expressed his desire to continue starting, pushing back against the Brewers' plan to move him to the bullpen, stating: "We're exploring the options to give me the chance to do what I do best."
Civale acknowledged the uncertainty of the trade, saying: "Whatever's next, I'm not exactly sure what's going on...I know what I can do. I think a lot of people know what I can do."
Aaron Civale's trade to the White Sox follows his push against a bullpen assignment, affirming his commitment to starting: "I wanted to continue starting...even if that meant getting traded."
The Brewers' decision to shift Civale to the bullpen coincided with the debut of prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who threw five scoreless innings in his first major league start.
