If the Twins are trading Ryan, no chance they want MEgill.

I think the market for trading Megill is much narrower than his performance suggests. With one year of control remaining it would have to be a team looking to “win now”. It would need to be a team not only willing to absorb $8M in salary, but also exchange something worthwhile to the Brewers.
