The Mets have called the Brewers about 32-year-old right-handed reliever Trevor Megill, according to Joel Sherman, who reports that the Yankees are also among the teams to have shown interest in Tylor Megill’s older brother.
The elder Megill has spent the past three seasons with the Brewers, and he’s been very good over that span. In 128.0 innings of work, he had a 2.88 ERA with a 2.62 FIP, a 31.0 percent strikeout rate, and an 8.2 percent walk rate. All of those numbers have been significantly better than league averages for relief pitchers in each of those three seasons.
Before joining the Brewers, Megill had spent one season with the Cubs in 2021, finishing the year with an 8.37 ERA in 23.2 innings. The Twins claimed him on waivers following that season, and he had a better showing in Minnesota in 2022, as he threw 45.0 innings with a 4.80 ERA and a 3.29 FIP. And the Twins traded him to the Brewers after that season for a played to be named later and cash.
