Megill's Struggles: Brewers' Trade Dilemma

0:00On April 17th, the Milwaukee Brewers had the top record in baseball last season after 162 games, but things flipped quick. They shipped out key players in the offseason, hit a week-long losing streak covering around 500, and now injuries to guys like Christian, Yelich, Quinn Priester, and Jackson Churrio are piling up. That slump and injury bug got folks talking about more trades to stockpile young talent. One name popping up big time is their closer, Trevor McGill, who's got just one more arbitration year after this one. McGill's off to a rough start though, coughing up nine hits, four walks, and eight earn runs in only six innings pitched. He snagged three saves early, but the team yanked him from the closer spot and slid him into set up duty behind Angel Zerpa. His struggles are tanking his trade value right when elite closers like Mason Miller fetched huge prospect halls last year. Even as a solid set up guy, he ain't pulling that kind of return now, and it's costing the brewers wins they can't afford.
