Roundup: 40-man roster additions

Running list of top names protected from Rule 5 Draft consideration

November 18, 2016

Friday is a major day in the lives of some of the game's most prominent prospects. It's the deadline by which organizations must add Rule 5 Draft-eligible players to their 40-man rosters to protect them from said draft, set to occur Dec. 8 at the Winter Meetings. A player is deemed Rule 5-eligible if he was signed at 18 or younger and has been in pro ball for at least five years or if he was signed at 19 or older and has been in pro ball for at least four years. Being added to a 40-man roster is just one more hurdle to clear toward achieving the Major League dream.

Here is a running list of top-30 prospects who have officially been added to their organization's 40-man rosters and are thus protected from this year's Rule 5 Draft. It will be updated throughout the day:
