Proposed blockbuster Rangers trade sees Texas land $4.7 million All-Star, 30 SV closer as major upgrade over Robert Garcia<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Texas Rangers<\/a> are going into the 2026 season with what looks like a closer-by-committee, and Robert Garcia as the first option. If they want to compete, getting a guy who can shut down the other team to win a game is a must.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report\u2019s Kerry Miller<\/a> believes so as well, and proposes that the Rangers make a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> for their All-Star closer, Trevor Megill. The Brewers are known for trading their star closer a couple years before a payday, and Megill fits that bill as well.<\/p>\n

The trade would look like this:<\/p>\n

Rangers get: RHP Trevor Megill<\/p>\n

Brewers get: TEX No. 2 prospect RHP Caden Scarborough<\/p>\n

\u201cOne big thing at the heart of the Milwaukee Brewers’ staying power on a budget has been A) their ability to develop All-Star closers and B) their willingness to trade away those closers with 1-2 years remaining before they walk for nothing in free agency. They did it with Josh Hader. They did it with Devin Williams. Maybe next they’ll do it with Trevor Megill, who has a 2.60 ERA and has saved 51 games over the past two seasons, named an All-Star in 2025\u2026On the Rangers side of things, not having a reliable closer was their undoing in 2025\u2026Thus, it’s looking like it’ll be Robert Garcia as the first option in a bullpen by committee. But they could address that with one phone call to the Brewers,\u201d Miller wrote.<\/p>\n

This past season, Megill had a 6-3 record, a 2.49 ERA, 60 Ks, a WHIP of 1.128, and 30 saves in 50 games. He also earned his first All-Star nod, which solidifies him as a top closer in the MLB.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s set to make<\/a> $4.7 million this season, and still has another year of arbitration as well. If he brings success to the Rangers in those two seasons, there\u2019s no reason not to re-sign him.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the Rangers realize what a good deal this is, and get to work on a proposal right away.<\/p>\n
