Cubs Acquire Civale for Rotation Boost | Oakland Athletics News
Description
The Cubs just pulled off a savvy move, trading for veteran pitcher Aaron Civale after he was designated for assignment by the A’s — a perfect pickup for a team battling injuries and looking to strengthen its rotation. Civale, who made his MLB debut in 2019 and even pitched for the Cubs last year, brings experience and solid upside despite a 5.42 ERA this season. In return, the A’s get minor league pitcher Aiden Moffett and some cash. With the Cubs on a roll lately — just beat the Twins 6-2 to improve to 55-43 — this trade could be the spark they need to close the gap on the Brewers and make a serious push in the second half.
