MLB Teams Finalize 40-Man Rosters Ahead of Rule 5 Draft
TL;DR Summary
The Pittsburgh Pirates have opted not to add any eligible players to their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, risking the potential loss of prospects like catcher Omar Alfonzo and outfielder Sammy Siani. Alfonzo, ranked as the Pirates' No. 26 prospect, is a solid defender with offensive potential but faces competition at the catcher position. Siani, though not a top-30 prospect, has shown promise in the Arizona Fall League and could be a depth option for the Pirates if his performance continues to improve.
