Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Los Angeles Dodgers should pursue Trevor Megill by offering Emmet Sheehan in a straight swap that addresses different pitching priorities. Los Angeles would acquire an established late-inning reliever, while the Milwaukee Brewers would receive a major league starter capable of contributing to their championship defense.The price would be substantial. Sheehan offers three remaining seasons of team control, compared with Megill’s one. That difference makes this a serious proposal rather than an attempt to acquire Milwaukee’s closer with expendable depth.ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that the Brewers would at least listen to offers for Megill this offseason.

The Dodgers should evaluate his health and workload alongside his recent performance.The strongest argument is dependable recent production in a role the club needs to strengthen.
