The Mariners announced today that they have added three players to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. Added to the roster are:

  • OF Julio Rodríguez
  • LHP Ray Kerr
  • OF Alberto Rodríguez

I wrote up a primer on the Rule 5 Draft and the decisions facing the Mariners organization a while ago, which you can find here. Definitely give it a read if you’re not familiar with the Rule 5 Draft process, because it is a little bit of a weird one.
