They need to replace his arm however they can, especially with other AL East teams making moves.There might be a perfect replacement, though. Bleacher Report\u2019s Joel Reuter proposes that the Yankees make another trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, this time for All-Star Trevor Megill.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.sportingnews.com\/styles\/crop_style_16_9_desktop_webp\/s3\/2025-10\/USATSI_27277400.jpg.webp?itok=DvG0jXKL\" alt=\"Proposed Yankees trade sees New York land $6.5 million All-Star closer to replace arm of Devin Williams image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The trade would look like this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yankees get: RHP Trevor Megill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brewers get: RHP Carlos Lagrange, 1B T.J. Rumfield, RHP Harrison Cohen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees have a clear need to bolster their relief corps and a history of dealing with the Brewers, as just last winter they acquired Devin Williams under similar circumstances,\u201d Reuter wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This past season, Megill posted a 6-3 record, an ERA of 2.49, 60 Ks, a WHIP of 1.128, and 30 saves in 50 games. He would be an amazing backend reliever to pair with David Bednar, and hopefully do what Williams was meant to do.<\/p>\n<p>This is pretty funny, having the Yanks trade for another All-Star closer from the Brewers. Overall though, it\u2019s a good trade, as it solves the problem of losing Williams.<\/p>\n<p>With the Brewers hosting a potential fire sale, the Yanks need to get in while they can. Hopefully, they craft up an offer quickly, before another contender beats them to the punch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This would be a savvy move by the Yanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":124689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
