The decisions have been made and the rosters are set. All clubs had until Wednesday night to finalize their 40-man rosters, either adding prospects or leaving them exposed to the Rule 5 Draft.

The majority of players on Top 30 lists were protected, but those that weren¡¯t will be eligible to be selected by the 29 other teams in the Rule 5 Draft at the Winter Meetings in San Diego on Thursday, Dec. 12.

Players first signed at age 18 must be added to 40-man rosters within five seasons or they become eligible to be drafted by other organizations through the Rule 5 process. Players signed at 19 years or older have to be protected within four seasons. Clubs pay $100,000 to select a player in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft. If that player doesn't stay on the 25-man roster for the full season, he must be offered back to his former team for $50,000.

For this year, that means an international or high school Draft pick signed in 2015 -- assuming he was 18 or younger as of June 8 of that year -- had to be protected. A college player taken in the 2016 Draft was in the same position.

There were 13 players on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects list who needed to be added to their club's 40-man rosters to be protected.

As expected, all of them ended up on 40-man rosters. Over the past five seasons, all 52 Top 100 prospects who were eligible got roster spots (2018: 8; 2017: 8; 2016: 12; 2015: 11). Obviously, there were more than 13 Minor Leaguers up for roster spots. There were more than 1,700 players who were Rule 5 eligible this year; 149 of them are on organizational Top 30 lists. Of those 149 prospects, 87 (58.3 percent) were protected.

A year ago, there were 149 Top 30 prospects who needed to be protected, and 71 (47.6 percent) received a roster spot. That was a dip from 2017, when 85 of 153 eligible Top 30 prospects (55.6 percent) were protected. In 2016, there were 144 total, and 58 percent of them (84) were protected. In 2015, 75 of 156 (48 percent) Top 30 prospects landed on rosters.

Here's a list of all 30 teams' Top 30 prospects who needed to be protected to avoid being exposed to the Rule 5 Draft:
