Abner Uribe to Take Over the Closer Job in Milwaukee?
Milwaukee Brewers reliever Abner Uribe is competing to be the team's primary closer in 2026. While that role belonged to Trevor Megill last season, Uribe has simply been the stronger bullpen arm and offers tremendous upside in save scenarios. Uribe finished 2025 with a 1.67 ERA, 10.75 K/9, and 3.23 BB/9 over 75 games (75.1 innings). He touched 100 mph with his fastball and racked up seven saves. Megill had 30 saves, but he was less effective overall with a 2.49 ERA and 3.23 xERA. The Brewers are lucky to have two capable closers competing for one job; there are very few teams in MLB that find themselves in that position. At the same time, though, this is a very important decision for the Brewers to make, and all things being equal, it seems like Uribe may be the favorite. He's the cheaper fantasy option, too, currently holding an ADP of 170 (compared to Megill's ADP of 135).
