Colorado Rockies Set 40-Man Roster, Protect Minor League Players from Rule 5 Draft

The Colorado Rockies 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 Rockies have 39 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 Colorado Rockies added some minor league players to their 40-man roster.

Among the players added are minor league prospects Warming Bernabel, Blair Calvo, Julio Carreras, Brenton Doyle and Riley Pint. These players will be protected from the Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings in three weeks in San Diego.

The Rockies also traded Juan Brito to the Cleveland Guardians for Nolan Jones. Jones has been added to the 40-man roster as well.

As of the Nov. 15 deadline, the Rockies have 39 players on their 40-man roster, with one open roster spot. The Rockies can add a player from another team via the Rule 5 Draft. They also can make trades and sign free agents in the meantime, to fill out their roster.
