This is from Adam Morris, although more were added by the trades in late July. Crouse is gone and Terry, Latz and Snyder have already been added.

Here are the players who are Rule 5 eligible who I think would get at least some consideration to be added to the 40 man roster this offseason.

Curtis Terry

Ricky Vanasco

Ronny Henriquez*

Bubba Thompson

Hans Crouse

Cole Ragans

Jake Latz

Ryan Dorow

Yonny Hernandez

Steele Walker

Cole Uvila

Jacob Lemoine

Hever Bueno

Nick Snyder

Miguel Aparicio

Joe Gatto

The first six players listed are all, I think, near-certain to be added, though I have Ronny Henriquez with an asterisk because I am not 100% certain that he is Rule 5 eligible this offseason.
Maybe 7 or 8 more from this list that I would consider, but probably only 4 or 5 of them..

Vanasco, Ragans, Thompson and Walker plus whoever we need to add from the trade deadline acquisitions.

So we have 10 more guys to jettison of we need to. That's why it seems we are in great shape.
Well counting Cotton, Lyles, Folty, Culbertson and Holt as FA’s that means 4 just to get to 40

I really hope we hang onto Yonny Hernandez. I think he’s sneaky under rated valuable.
As a lead off hitter with a .350+ OBP with speed who steals bases I really think he could be a valuable part of the team.
Even the 2nd-4th time through the line up he could bunt or just rely on him to reach base through a single or walk.
He could be a guy who scores 80 runs a year with the right guys behind him.

Crouse is a Yankee. Terry, Doris & Snyder are already on the 40. And we also have Josh Smith, Duran and Hauver who also have to be considered for the 40

Josh Smith was drafted in 2019 I don’t think he needs to be added
Hauver was drafted in 2020 he doesn’t have to be added either
Duran does though
And I would add Duran. It’s unfortunate but he was signed early on. Seems to be pacing the time line well though. Only 22 years old. Should probably be at AA mid year next year then MLB mid year 2023 at 24 years old in a utility role then maybe more at age 25

Apparently Duran is the only one in the Gallo trade that is subject to the Rule 5 draft. Smith has another year to go.

Only Duran, not Smith or Hauver yet, according to Scott Lucas.

They didn't need to put Dorow on. He was a Covid replacement. He is still yet to be added.

Okay thought he was
Yeah, it is really confusing to know a guy has recently played up here without being on the 40 man. These are unique times.

We currently have 5 catchers on the 40 man. I wonder if we seek to trade one after the season.

We have some minor league talent but as your system gets better other teams will pickup your castoffs
Remember us losing Herrera to the Phillies which I thought was a mistake but guess it was a spillover consequence of a good farm. Plus other players such as Cruz and Wisdom are on different time cycles.
To me we need to make sure we get as many test runs especially with those non rostered players subject to rule 5 this final month.
Yup we may be surprised and even critical of some players released while keeping unproven yet with higher ceilings. Think Peters is a prime example of a potential keep
That’s how JD improved our talent level for a season or 2. Leeching off / tradimy with the rays and picking off their excess players who were good, but the rays had no spot for them.
