The Brewers have quite a number of minor league players to consider protecting from the Rule 5 draft this winter by adding them to the 40-man roster. With the recent waiver claims of Jordan Lyles and Ariel Hernandez filling the 40-man for now, it looks like the Brewers are starting to move some of the players they don’t think they’ll have room to protect, in order to get something for them.
Minor league reliever Jon Perrin, who gained some attention this spring for his “other” job as a financial planner, is being traded to the Kansas City Royals system for a low-level pitching prospect.
