Overview

  • Civale worked for the Brewers, White Sox and Cubs in 2025, posting a 4.85 ERA over 102 innings and finishing with a 2.08 ERA in five relief outings for Chicago’s North Side club.
  • For his career, Civale is 43-44 with a 4.14 ERA in 140 MLB games as a command-oriented right-hander.
  • He arrives shortly after the A’s addition of reliever Scott Barlow and projects to slot alongside Luis Severino, Jeffrey Springs, Jacob Lopez and Luis Morales, with Oakland’s payroll estimated around $95 million per MLBTR.
