Yankees eye Brewers' Trevor Megill if David Bednar departs in free agency

The New York Yankees face significant decisions regarding their bullpen, as six relievers, including closer David Bednar, are set to become free agents this offseason. Bednar has been a reliable option, converting 35 of 39 saves in 2026. Should he leave, Yankees writers suggest targeting Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill, an All-Star in 2025. Megill's power fastball and knuckle curve helped him strike out 69 batters in 61.2 innings this season. The Yankees can extend a qualifying offer to Bednar, but his departure would require a major reconfiguration of their bullpen.
