Chicago Cubs, Milwaukee Brewers main competition for the NL Central Division crown, intend to win a former Astros closer to Ryan PresslyJesse Rogers reports from ESPN.

The 36-year-old right trade has 12 vast league seasons behind it, including 7 from Houston. After the inconsistent campaign 2023, Pressly lost his job closer last season, when the team brought the former brewery Josh Hader to take over this role. In the years 2021-2023, 90 entries compiled.

This did not mean that he did not see any chance to give in 2024 in 12 possibilities he confirmed Houston’s decision to pass from him, transforming only 4. By publishing 3.49 era into 56 2/3 Inning I hit 58, giving up 58 hits and walking 16.

Despite his struggles in recent years, he designs to repeat the closer duties in Chicago, who sent the leader from 2024 Hector Neris back to Houston last year on time.

Chicago Cubs “Pressly Deal has nothing about the closer situation of Milwaukee Brewers

Pressly gave up the clause without trade to join Cubs, he predicted NL Central Champs in 2025. Although he has solid achievements-in 2021 it was almost dominant from a 2.25 era and 0.97 Whip-not signing home in everyone episode. As part of the transaction, Houston remains on the hook by part of his payment of $ 14 million.

Rogers notes that Cubs blew up 26 savings last season, giving a value inside, such as Pressly closing.

However, with Trevor McGill, who coped with his own leaders of the 9th Inning, the brewers have no reason to lament the departure of Pressly from the commercial market. In 2024, his second year in Brewtown, Megill registered 21 defensive throws in 24 attempts, ahead of 50 in 46 Inns. On the way to the era 2.72 he gave up only 33 hits and gave 13 free passes.

What justifies at least a miniature problem is the loss of Devin Williams in Milwaukee trade for Starter Yankees Nestor Cortes this season. When he was wounded, Williams was 14 out of 53 defensive throws of the team last season and was undoubtedly the best arm of the pen (1.25 era) Brewery throughout his entire career, Fireballler ended his term after six years.

If Milwaukee replaces him in what the remains of the season (at this point seems unlikely), the team may need to strengthen the pen at the date of trade in 2025. Depending on who up to fill his absence.

The rest of the feathers

Brewers probably poke Joel Payamps and Jared Koenig as men of configuration. For his part, Payamps was impressed by 59 Innses last season, allowing only 39 hits with a 3.3 k/BB factor. First of all, last year in the tardy Inning last year, he also won 6 defensive throws for 9 opportunities, a sign that he can be called at the top.

Koenig won an aesthetic 9-4 record in 55 performances, including 6 “starts” as an opening. In the second season, the Major League Action 31 Like Megill, part of his success came from the limitation of long balls (each allowed 4 Homerki).

Even without the exchange of Williams, Bullpen brewers can be a powerful suit this year, if players like Bryan Hudson (1.73 era) and Elvis Peguero (2.98 era), in addition to Megill, Payamps and Koenig, reproduce their 2024 performances.
