The White Sox turned the page on Andrew Vaughn last week by trading him to the Brewers for right-hander Aaron Civale. A former top prospect, Vaughn has regressed in recent years and was hitting .189 with a .531 OPS through 48 games this season. While Vaughn’s handling was likely botched in the first place, both sides are probably better off apart.

Long story short, there is a shortage of plug-and-play relievers who might be worth a little gratuitous spending. They will come at a cost that the Phillies will need to think long and hard about.
