Milwaukee Brewers add zero players to 40-man roster ahead of Rule 5 protection deadline; outright Mark Mathias

Today was the deadline for organizations around Major League Baseball to add eligible players to their 40-man roster in order to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. Many franchises around the league took this opportunity to add some of their best prospects to the big league roster and bring them that much closer to reaching the game’s highest level. The Milwaukee Brewers were not one of those teams, however. David Stearns and his brain trust chose not to add any additional players to the 40-man before today’s deadline, and additionally, they dropped Mark Mathias off the roster.
