Happy Wednesday, Athletics Nation!
Yesterday was the deadline to set 40-man rosters in order to protect players from the Rule 5 Draft at Winter Meetings this December. Joe Trezza at MLB.com has a helpful Rule 5 primer on the league’s website, as well as updates on moves made around the league.
The A’s added three players to their 40-man roster ahead of the deadline to protect them from being claimed by another team.
A’s added prospects OF Denzel Clarke and RHPs Gunnar Hoglund and Ryan Cusick to their 40-man roster, which protects them from the Rule 5 Draft.
