They are rarely buyers, but they always seem to have a contending roster. They build their roster through the farm system while trading away veteran players whenever they get a chance, which helps them build that farm system even more.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6o\">They traded Freddy Peralta, Isaac Collins, and Caleb Durbin during the offseason, which helped bolster their future even more. Still, they have a talented roster with the ability to compete for the National League Central again this season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6r\">But they could look to trade more of their veteran players.<\/p>\n<p>Trevor Megill is the perfect trade target for the Dodgers<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kpr9x2bm37erqx7fb8.jpg\" alt=\"Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill\" title=\"Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill\" width=\"5721\" height=\"3218\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"74\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill stretches during the fifth inning of their game against the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. | Mark Hoffman\/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"78\">Trevor Megill has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/mlb-trade-big-board-3-players-milwaukee-brewers-could-trade-in-2026-zach3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">made sense as a trade chip for quite some time<\/a>. The Brewers have dominant bullpen arms like Abner Uribe and Angel Zerpa, among others, who could fill in for Megill as the closer. He&#8217;s also nearing the end of his contract, though he has an additional year of control next season. Still, team control didn&#8217;t stop the Brewers from trading Durbin and Collins.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7b\">And the Los Angeles Dodgers could be the perfect landing spot for the big righty. The Dodgers recently lost their star closer, Edwin Diaz, to a crushing elbow injury. Diaz is expected to be sidelined for a few months, and he will likely take even longer after that to return to his true form.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">Trading for Megill would make a lot of sense, though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/brewers-nightmare-scenario-quickly-becoming-their-reality-in-2026-zach3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he&#8217;s struggled a lot early this season<\/a>, which might have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/milwaukee-brewers-top-trade-chip-is-quickly-killing-his-trade-value-zach3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tanked his trade value<\/a> a little bit.<\/p>\n<p>What would it cost?<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kpr9sg1epe2w3dzvqv.jpg\" alt=\"Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill\" title=\"Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill\" width=\"7623\" height=\"4287\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"7r\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Apr 14, 2026; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA;  Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill (29) throws a pitch during the ninth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at American Family Field.

Still, he&#8217;s an advanced hitter who dominated the minor leagues last year. He has all the tools to be a five-tool prospect and plays the game the way the Brewers like their guys to play it. Sirota is slashing .261\/.414\/.391 through 14 games this year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"84\">Miller is a big league-ready infield prospect who could come to Milwaukee and help fill the hole at third base. He&#8217;s struggled offensively in his career, but this season, he has an OPS over .900 through 21 games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"87\">The Brewers should be looking to cut ties with Megill once he begins showing signs of life on the mound again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers are one of the more intriguing franchises in the league.
