Good morning friends! Yesterday was a busy day in baseball, with the deadline to add players to 40-man rosters to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft passing in the afternoon. Let’s get you caught up on that and other news you may have missed.
In Mariners news...
- The Mariners added a trio of prospects to their 40-man roster prior to the deadline: right-handers Jimmy Joyce and Taylor Dollard; and outfielder Carlos Jiménez. See the complete list of players added yesterday around the league.
- In case you missed it, the Mariners helped their old pals in Tampa with a roster crunch, re-acquiring young infielder Austin Shenton for cash considerations.
