Minnesota Twins Set 40-Man Roster, Protect Minor League Players from Rule 5 Draft

Among the players added are minor league prospects Brent Headrick, Matt Canterino, Casey Legumina and Edouard Julien. These players will be protected from the Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings in three weeks in San Diego.
