Astros should trade for Mets starter Tylor Megill

Another odd man out, Tylor Megill has actually struggled for the Mets thus far through 7 starts and 35.1 innings.

A trade for the 27-year-old right hander would seem more like a temporary bandage to get by. In the three seasons where he been in the Majors, Megill has never achieved an ERA lower than 4, allowing as much as 19 home runs in 18 games.

This would be a stopgap move as the Astros should use Megill as a bridge to get to another prospect, or if a A+ level trade target emerges as we approach the trade deadline.

Megill is capable of giving 5 innings of 2-3 run baseball every game, but it would be wise for this only to be a short term solution. A couple of low tier prospects would be an idealistic package to acquire Megill.
