Brewers Determine Late-Game Bullpen Roles

The Brewers’ bullpen was strong in 2025, led by closer Trevor Megill, who recorded 30 saves and a 2.49 ERA, earning him an All-Star selection. However, manager Pat Murphy hinted at a potential committee approach for the closer role in 2026, especially after Abner Uribe excelled in Megill’s absence, earning five saves and posting a 1.67 ERA. Megill’s future remains uncertain amid trade speculation and concerns about his health following a flexor strain, but he is optimistic about his role. As the Brewers navigate their bullpen dynamics, Uribe may emerge as a long-term option, while Megill prepares for the upcoming season after avoiding arbitration with a $4.7MM contract.
