Pittsburgh Pirates Set 40-Man Roster, Protect Minor League Players from Rule 5 Draft

The Pittsburgh Pirates 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 Pirates have a full 40 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 Pittsburgh Pirates added some minor league players to their 40-man roster.

Among the players added are minor league prospects Mike Burrows, Endy Rodriguez, Colin Selby and Jared Triolo. These players will be protected from the Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings in three weeks in San Diego.

To make room on their 40-man roster, the Pirates have designated Tyler Heineman, Jeremy Beasley, Junior Fernandez and Manny Banuelos for assignment.

As of the Nov. 15 deadline, the Pirates have a full 40 players on their 40-man roster, with no open roster spots. Their offseason is far from over, though.
