Players are listed in order on Spotrac, unless they’re minor leaguers, in which case it’s from Fangraphs.

This is now 44 players who will be on the 40-man once (a) players are added back to the 40-man from the IL and (b) players who have finished their contract depart to free agency.

Other potential inclusions, due to Rule 5 eligibility include Matthew Lugo, acquired in the Garcia trade, Brett Kerry, and any of several relievers (Torres, Seig, Armstrong, Nick Jones).

Assuming we protect Lugo for sure, that brings us to 45 players, so at least 5 players will either be traded, non-tendered, or DFA’d. We’ll need to leave room in case we want to Rule 5 draft anyone in the Major League round. (The AAA round does not require the use of a 40-man spot.)

Who’s at risk of being the victim of this round of cuts? In some order…(includes DFA and guys we might decline to make an offer to going into arbitration)

• Jack Lopez (he would be 32 next season)
• Guillo Zuniga (thoroughly underwhelming at both AAA and in the bigs)
• Andrew Wantz (might never be the same after injuries and surgery)
• Victor Mederos (stunk it up at AA and in the bigs)
• Kelvin Caceres (young with control problems, might be shakier than Mederos)
• Kenny Rosenberg (see Davis Daniel)
• Davis Daniel (see Kenny Rosenberg)
• Charles Leblanc (he’s already been leapfrogged by Wagaman and might also get stuck behind Moore)
• Griffin Canning (last year of arbitration, his K/9 is way down, and his ERA/FIP are up, though he did his best to be a Chad innings eater)
• Jose Suarez (who are we getting? end-of-season Suarez, or pre-AAA Suarez?)

They could get DFA’d and still return to the organization, so it’s not necessarily the end of the road for any of these guys. Any team that decides to pick someone up off waivers would have to add him to their 40-man or have to DFA that player themselves.
