The Milwaukee Brewers are not expected to move World Series MVP William Contreras despite his club option, but another important member of their championship roster could be available. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Milwaukee will at least listen to trade offers for closer Trevor Megill.

That possibility makes sense for a team looking to balance its desire to repeat as World Series champions with the need to continue building for the future. Contreras remains a central piece of the Brewers' roster after his MVP performance, and moving him would create a major hole behind the plate.

Megill presents a different situation. The right-hander played an important role in Milwaukee's late-game success, giving the team a dependable option to close out victories. Losing him would not be an easy decision, especially after the Brewers just won a championship, but the organization has plenty of pitching depth to explore its options.

Milwaukee could potentially turn Megill into a package of young talent that helps strengthen the roster for years to come. Teams rarely want to part with players who contributed to a championship, but keeping the same group together is not always the best way to maintain long-term success.

The Brewers also have an internal option who could help make a potential move more manageable. Aaron Ashby could take over closing duties, giving Milwaukee an opportunity to find out what he can do in that role after dominating the postseason as a setup arm.

That does not mean the Brewers are committed to trading Megill. Still, the possibility is worth monitoring as the team evaluates its roster after winning the World Series.

The Brewers have a chance to turn one key bullpen piece into young talent while relying on their pitching depth to keep the championship window open.
