When the Chicago Cubs chose to select former Padres reliever Trevor Megill in the first round of last year’s Rule 5 draft, they’d hoped to have found a big arm who could help the trajectory of the bullpen this season. So far, through the first couple weeks of spring training, there is a lot to be positive about surrounding Megill.
After being drafted and spending the entirety of his career with San Diego before Chicago snatched him up, Megill seemed to be on a healthy path towards the majors. In 2019 alone, Megill moved through the ranks from Class-A Advanced to Triple-A.
