These Fall League prospects could earn 40-man roster spots

MLB Pipeline analysts Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo reviewed Rule 5-eligible prospects in the Arizona Fall League who could be added to 40-man rosters ahead of the Nov. 17 deadline. With 78 eligible players competing, organizations must decide whether to protect them before the Rule 5 Draft, currently scheduled for Dec. 9. Top 100 prospects Jarlin Susana of the Nationals and Demetrio Crisantes of the Diamondbacks are considered lock selections for protection.

Callis and Mayo highlighted a dozen other candidates who could earn roster spots or draw Rule 5 interest. Notable names include Brewers utility player Jett Williams, Phillies infielder Aroon Escobar, Orioles right-hander Patrick Reilly, and Reds infielder Carlos Sanchez. Other prospects discussed as potential bullpen additions or developmental gambles include Athletics right-hander Kenya Huggins, Dodgers southpaw Luke Fox, and White Sox reliever Garrett Wright.
