The Cincinnati Reds added Hunter Greene, Alexis Diaz, Daniel Duarte, James Marinan, and Allan Cerda to the 40-man roster on Friday. The move protects them from the Rule 5 Draft and keeps them a Red. Jeff is joined by Doug Gray to break down why each player was added to the 40-man roster for the Reds and what it means for a couple of guys not added.

Doug Gray is very knowledgeable about all things Reds minor leagues and he breaks down why each player was added to the 40-man roster for the Reds. Hunter Greene was rather obvious, but the other four guys have varying degrees of upside that would make them very attractive for other teams to take a chance on in the Rule 5 draft.

Two guys who weren't added to the 40-man roster were Alfredo Rodriguez and Joel Kuhnel. Jeff and Doug talk about why not them and could they be on the move whenever the Rule 5 Draft gets underway? And will the Reds participate in the Rule 5 draft, now that their roster is set at the full 40?

This means good things for the prospects of Hunter Greene being on the Reds Opening Day roster. We look at how that might look in a few months.
