3 most tradeable Brewers players and prospects with GM meetings underway

Major League Baseball's general managers are currently gathered in Las Vegas for their annual meetings. Historically, the "GM Meetings," as this event is referred to, haven't brought a wave of offseason activity, but with the larger "Winter Meetings" expected to be canceled due to the lockout this year, there's an expectation that the "GM Meetings" may take on a greater importance.

While trades are rarely completed this early in the offseason, the GM Meetings provide an opportunity for teams to float player names and explore the possibility of dealing certain prospects later on. The Milwaukee Brewers have typically used the Winter Meetings as an opportunity to lay the groundwork for trades that get across the finish line shortly thereafter. As a result, there's a real possibility they apply that same trade negotiation strategy to this year's GM Meetings. With that in mind, let's take a look at three of the Brewers' most tradeable players and prospects.

3 most tradeable players and prospects in the Brewers' organization as 2027 offseason gets underway

1. RHP Trevor Megill

To no surprise, Trevor Megill is one of the Brewers' most tradeable players. This is largely due to the fact that he has just one year of arbitration eligibility remaining before hitting free agency. Similar to when Freddy Peralta was traded last winter, Megill's affordable projected arbitration salary of $8 million and track record of effectiveness will help drive up his trade value. The Brewers' clear succession plan with Abner Uribe and Aaron Ashby waiting in the wings, and their ability to develop high-leverage bullpen arms should have them confident about continuing their trend of trading All-Star pitchers before they reach free agency.

2. INF/OF Jett Williams

After being acquired in the Peralta deal last February, Jett Williams was expected by many to eventually step into an everyday role at third base for the Brewers. Instead, he struggled out of the gate, battled a wrist injury, and ultimately was never added to Milwaukee's 40-man roster. Now Rule 5 Draft-eligible this offseason and without a clear path to a spot on the big-league roster, Williams seems like a likely trade candidate. The Brewers would be uncharacteristically selling low on Williams, but with a number of talented prospects approaching him on the depth chart, parting ways with the versatile prospect before his MLB debut certainly makes some sense.

3. 1B/OF Tyler Black

Tyler Black, a former 33rd overall pick and highly regarded prospect in the Brewers' farm system, has unfortunately struggled to find his footing in limited big-league opportunities while still searching for a permanent defensive home. The 26-year-old does not have much trade value, but with no minor league options remaining, he could become a roster casualty as Milwaukee makes moves later this offseason. Still, another team may be willing to take a flier on a former top draft pick in hopes a change of scenery may ignite a spark.
