Sources: Brewers deal bullpen-resistant Civale to White Sox

Aaron Civale is getting his wish for a trade after resisting the Milwaukee Brewers' attempt to move him to the bullpen.

The Brewers are trading Civale to the Chicago White Sox for first baseman Andrew Vaughn, sources told ESPN's Jesse Rogers on Friday.

The trade comes two days after the Brewers announced they were shifting Civale to the bullpen for the first time in his seven-year career. That was being done to make room for flame-throwing prospect Jacob Misiorowski in the Milwaukee rotation.

But Civale pushed back against the bullpen move, saying he wanted to continue starting, even if that meant getting traded.
