Baseball’s annual Winter Meetings have officially come and gone for 2019, with Thursday’s Rule 5 Draft wrapping things up before the various beat writers, job seekers, and front office personnel headed back towards home. For the third straight year, the Milwaukee Brewers did not select any players in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft. The club didn’t lose anyone in the MLB phase, either, despite leaving their top pitching prospect and #3 overall (per Baseball America and MLB Pipeline) Zack Brown unprotected.
The Brewers also did not select any players in the Minor League phase of the Rule 5 Draft, but they did lose four unprotected prospects from their system who were snapped up by other clubs.
