Chicago White Sox Set 40-Man Roster, Protect Minor League Prospects from Rule 5 Draft

The Chicago White Sox have set their 40-man roster to protect eligible minor league players from the Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings in San Diego in December. As of the November 15 deadline, the White Sox have 38 players on their 40-man roster.

Prior to Tuesday evening's 6 p.m. ET deadline to protect eligible players from the Rule 5 Draft, the Chicago White Sox added some minor league players to their 40-man roster.

Among the players added are minor league prospects Bryan Ramos and Jose Rodriguez. These players will be protected from the Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings in three weeks in San Diego.

As of the Nov. 15 deadline, the White Sox have 38 players on their 40-man roster, with two open roster spots. The White Sox can add players from other teams via the Rule 5 Draft. They also can make trades and sign free agents in the meantime, to fill out their roster.
