Brewers’ Trevor Megill Linked to Desperate NL Club Seeking Bullpen Help

Giants emerge as a possible suitor

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that Milwaukee will at least listen to offers for Megill this winter. As the General Manager Meetings approached, league rumors picked up, and FanSided’s Robert Murray connected the closer to the Giants.

Murray reported that San Francisco president of baseball operations Buster Posey said the club wants rotation and bullpen help. The Giants struggled in the ninth inning, and Megill could be a fit because he overlapped with Minasian in Milwaukee.

Prospects could shape discussions

San Francisco has a strong farm system that could give it options in a potential deal. ESPN ranked the Giants seventh in August, while Milwaukee was ranked No. 1.

The Giants have five prospects in the top 100, led by No. 7 overall prospect Josuar Gonzalez. That depth could allow San Francisco to offer a substantial prospect package if Milwaukee considers moving Megill.

San Francisco’s bullpen struggles

The Giants went 65-97 in 2026, despite having significant names on their roster. Their bullpen posted a 4.14 ERA, ranking 19th, and the club recorded 27 blown saves, the 10th-highest total in the league.

Milwaukee has reason to keep Megill

Megill is under team control and would become a free agent after the 2027 season. Keeping the All-Star closer alongside Aaron Ashby and Abner Uribe could strengthen a Brewers bullpen that helped the reigning champions make a deep playoff run.

Milwaukee would not necessarily benefit from trading Megill unless an offer were compelling. The Giants are a team to watch, but no deal has been completed.
