Both the New York Mets and the New York Yankees have expressed interest in acquiring Megill, signaling a competitive market for the promising reliever.
Trevor Megill’s Performance Highlights

Impact of Injury
Last season was not without challenges for Megill. A right flexor strain sidelined him for a month. However, he returned to make a significant impact, pitching once in the regular season and five times during the playoffs.
