The New York Yankees’ 40-man roster is full thanks to their decision of re-signing lefty reliever Joely Rodriguez and the addition of catcher Donny Sands. However, if they want to prevent top prospects from being exposed during the upcoming Rule 5 Draft, the Bombers need to trim a few more spots.
MLB’s deadline to add minor leaguers to the 40-man roster or risk losing them to the Rule 5 draft is on Friday. That gives the Yankees five days to maneuver and clear a few spots, possibly for quality prospects like Josh Breaux, Everson Pereira, Oswaldo Cabrera and Randy Vasquez.
