San Diego Padres Set 40-Man Roster, Protect Minor League Players from Rule 5 Draft

The San Diego Padres 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 Padres have 33 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 San Diego Padres added a minor league player to their 40-man roster.

The Padres added left-handed pitcher Tom Cosgrove to their 40-man roster. Musgrove 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 Padres have 33 players on their 40-man roster, with seven open roster spots. The Padres 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.
