The Milwaukee Brewers are going to churn through some 40-man roster spots this offseason. That’s just the way things happen every winter under the David Stearns regime. There will be waiver claims, trades, Rule 5 Draft protection, non-tenders, free agent signings, and DFA’s. In fact, we have already seen a couple of moves by Stearns and company even before the end of the World Series — Hernan Perez was waived and released, and Deolis Guerra was signed to a big league contract with a spot on the 40-man.
Once the Fall Classic has concluded, the Brewers will have to reinstate two hurlers to the 40-man roster from the 60-day Injured List — Corey Knebel and Bobby Wahl.
