The Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly willing to entertain offers for their ace starter, Freddy Peralta. However, interested parties should be prepared to meet a high asking price. While discussions around Peralta are noteworthy, it seems that the Brewers are fielding even more inquiries regarding their reliever, Trevor Megill. Teams such as the New York Mets and New York Yankees have expressed interest in acquiring the talented righty.
Trevor Megill, who joined the Brewers from the Minnesota Twins in April 2023, has quickly established himself as a formidable presence in the bullpen. Across 129 games, he boasts a commendable 3.23 ERA. Though Megill faced a setback last season with a right flexor strain that sidelined him for a month, he made a successful return, contributing both during the regular season and in the playoffs.
The 32-year-old pitcher showcased impressive stats last year, achieving a 2.49 ERA over 50 regular-season outings. His effectiveness on the mound is underscored by a remarkable .209 batting average against him and a 31.3 percent strikeout rate. Notably, Megill’s fastball averaged a blistering 99.2 mph, and his knuckle curve has gained recognition as one of the most effective pitches in the league.
As the trade deadline approaches, the Brewers find themselves in a position of strength, evaluating their assets while responding to the growing interest in key players like Megill.
