The D-backs announced last week that there will be 66 players invited to spring training this year. That number may well go up: for example, further signings may occur, or if Collin Snider (removed from the 40-man roster to make room for Joc Pederson) makes it through waivers, he will likely also get an invite. We’ll cross that bridge as necessary. But for now, we’ll be talking only about the 26 players beyond the 40-man roster, who will get a look in spring. It’s obviously harder for them to make the Opening Day squad, as they first have to be added to the 40-man squad, and someone else would need to be kicked off, probably exposed to waivers and thus potentially lost.
