New York Yankees Set 40-Man Roster, Protect Minor League Players from Rule 5 Draft

The New York Yankees 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 Yankees 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 New York Yankees added some minor league players to their 40-man roster.

Among the players added are minor league prospect Randy Vasquez. Vasquez is listed as the Yankees no. 14 overall prospect, according to MLB.com's prospect rankings.

Vasquez 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 Yankees have 38 players on their 40-man roster, with two open roster spots. The Yankees 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.
