Two Teams That Need To Call Brewers About Trevor Megill Trade
The Milwaukee Brewers won the World Series this year, but could still make some trades
The Milwaukee Brewers, winners of this year's World Series, have a history of strategically trading players to maintain success. This approach has led to the trades of Freddy Peralta, Corbin Burnes, Devin Williams, and Josh Hader, who are now one year away from free agency. The New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox should reach out to discuss the possibility of acquiring pitcher Trevor Megill.
The Yankees need a new closer after losing David Bednar to a qualifying offer, and Megill could potentially step into that role. His attitude and makeup make him a strong candidate to replace Bednar. While Bednar might return, the Yankees should consider adding Megill as a potential duo with Bednar in the final two innings of games. Alternatively, if Bednar stays, Megill could take on the setup role.
The Chicago White Sox made the postseason despite having a young team that will likely remain together. Their bullpen led the league in strikeouts with a top-10 ERA. However, their closer, Seranthony Domínguez, only recorded 12 saves. Megill would significantly improve upon Domínguez's performance and provide Will Venable with a reliable option in the ninth inning. With his addition, the White Sox could be even more competitive in the upcoming season.
