The Minnesota Twins selected the contracts of Max Kepler and Jorge Polanco from Class A Cedar Rapids, Kennys Vargas from Class A Advanced Fort Meyers and Logan Darnell from Triple A Rochester and placed them on the Twins 40 man roster. The move was made to protect the players from the upcoming Rule 5 draft on December 12. It is interesting to see which players an organization values as it moves the draft eligible players under the protective roster umbrella.
