That would mean Vodnik from 2018 and Vines, Gordon, Milligan, and Shewmake from 2019 would have to go on the 40-man this off-season or be exposed to the Rule 5. Don't know which international signees fall into this category.
I'm not questioning the wisdom of the front office/player development staffs. They see these guys and I don't, but I was a little surprised on Vodnik and Shewmake if the old 4/5 rule was in effect.
