Mike’s Hardball Talk: 40-Man Roster Thoughts

The Diamondbacks added INF Domingo Leyba, INF Ildemaro Vargas, LHP Anthony Banda, RHP Jimmie Sherfy, INF Dawel Lugo, and INF Jack Reinheimer in order to protect them from the Rule V Draft. Leyba, Banda, Sherfy, Lugo, and Reinheimer were no-brainers, as I included them as prospects with the potential to play for the major league club in 2017. In order to make room, the team designated RHP Dominic Leone, OF Gabriel Guerrero, 1B/OF Kyle Jensen, C Tuffy Gosewisch, LHP Edwin Escobar, and RHP Tyler Wagner. Gosewisch, Escobar, Leone, and Wagner were claimed by other MLB teams.

Additions:

Banda, Leyba, Lugo, and Sherfy are Top 10 prospects in the organization coming into 2017.
