The Orioles added four players to the 40-man roster yesterday to protect them from the Rule 5 draft.

Hello, friends.

There are now 126 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2020. That’s a lot of days between now and then and there won’t be a lot of fresh O’s news on most of those days. Today, we’re in luck, because yesterday was the deadline to add Rule 5 draft-eligible players to the 40-man roster to protect them. The Orioles chose to add four players.

The four they’ve added are Keegan Akin, Dean Kremer, Ryan McKenna, and Ryan Mountcastle. You can get some more information written by me about who was added and who wasn’t, here.
