Players who signed at 18 years or younger must be added to a team’s 40-man roster within five seasons, and those who signed at 19 or older must be added within four seasons to avoid being left vulnerable to the Rule 5 draft.
The deadline for adding Minor league players to the 40-man roster is today at 5pm CT. They become eligible for the Rule 5 draft if they are not on a team’s 40-man roster by the deadline.
The Cardinals currently have 37 players on their 40-man roster, and have at least five players possibly at risk of being drafted. If drafted, that player must remain on the drafting teams major league roster for a year in order to stay in that organization.
The Royals are in pretty much the same situation, with 37 players currently on their 40-man roster.
A team must have an opening on their 40-man roster in order to draft.
The Rule 5 draft is Dec 10th.
