MLB Rumors: NY Yankees and NY Mets reportedly target the same Brewers player

It’s rare for two teams from the same city to pursue the same player during the offseason. However, the New York Yankees and New York Mets frequently appear in rumors about various players available for the upcoming season. In this instance, reports have surfaced regarding a reliever from the Milwaukee Brewers.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, both New York franchises have shown interest in Trevor Megill. “The Brewers are receiving inquiries from several teams about reliever Trevor Megill, including both the Mets and Yankees,” Sherman reported.

As both teams seek to strengthen their bullpen, acquiring Megill could be a significant boost for the New York franchises. The player is eligible for an arbitration-extension with the Brewers for two years. However, he has yet to decide on his plans for the upcoming season.

The teams must wait to see if the Brewers are willing to part with him, given the uncertainty surrounding his availability. In the previous regular season, Megill was a key player, making his first All-Star team, securing 30 saves, and posting a 2.49 ERA.
