40-Man Rosters For Every MLB Team Ahead Of Roster Protection Deadline

By 6 p.m. ET on Nov. 19, all 30 MLB teams must set their 40-man rosters in advance of Dec. 11’s Rule 5 draft. This is also called the “non-tender” deadline, because it’s when teams must decide whether to offer contracts to players on its 40-man roster. If a team decided to not tender a contract, that player immediately becomes a free agent.

For Rule 5 protection purposes, most international and high school draftees from 2020 are first-time eligible this year, while college draftees from 2021 are also first-time eligible. The exceptions are 2021 high school or international signees who were 19 or older at the time of their signing, both of whom are also Rule 5 eligible. Any player whose contract was voided and renegotiated is Rule 5 eligible every year going forward.

With many moves set to occur Tuesday, here’s a snapshot of where each team’s 40-man roster stood as of 10 a.m. on Nov. 18. These roster numbers are taken from MLB, but it’s always possible that a move may not yet be reflected, so consider this a useful snapshot. With the non-tender deadline coming up, a team sitting at a full 40 players right now could easily end up with several roster spots coming open to add other players tomorrow.
