Brewers May Keep Trevor Megill Unless NL Club Makes Strong Offer; Giants Linked in Desperate Bullpen Help Hunt

Giants emerge as a possibility

FanSided’s Robert Murray connected Megill to the Giants, citing San Francisco’s need for both rotation and relief pitching. Team president of baseball operations Buster Posey said the club is seeking help this winter.

Murray noted that Megill previously overlapped with Giants general manager Zack Minasian in Milwaukee. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that the Brewers “will at least listen” to offers for the closer this winter.

Prospects could shape talks

San Francisco has a farm system that could make it a credible trade partner. ESPN ranked the Giants seventh in August, while Milwaukee’s system was ranked first. The Giants have five prospects in the top 100, led by Josuar Gonzalez at No. 7 overall. That depth could give San Francisco the ability to offer a substantial prospect package if Milwaukee decides to move Megill.

San Francisco seeks relief help

The article reports that the Giants went 65-97 in 2026 and finished 19th in bullpen ERA, at 4.14. They also recorded 27 blown saves, the 10th-highest total in the league.

Milwaukee may keep Megill

Trading Megill is not a foregone conclusion. The Brewers are the reigning champions, and retaining him alongside Aaron Ashby and Abner Uribe would strengthen the bullpen. The article says Milwaukee’s relief corps was a major factor in its deep playoff run. The Giants remain a team to watch, but the Brewers may hold onto Megill unless an offer persuades them otherwise.
