Tuesday afternoon was the deadline for all MLB teams to set their 40-man rosters in advance of next month’s Rule 5 draft. Players who have spent four years (if signed at age 19 or older) or five years (if signed at 18 or younger) in the minors are eligible to be taken in the Rule 5 draft unless they were added to the 40-man roster by today’s deadline.
There’s some gamesmanship involved in the decisions, because any player taken in the Rule 5 can’t be sent to the minors during 2023, meaning they have to be either on the active roster or on the MLB injured list.
