Phillies add touted center field prospect Johan Rojas to 40-man roster

The Phillies added Johan Rojas to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. Roas is considered one of the best prospects in the game. He has 129 stolen bases in four minor league seasons. The Phillies signed Roja out of Dominican Republic for $10,000 four years ago. They have refused to include him in any potential trades. They acquired Brandon Marsh from Los Angeles Angels for catching prospect Logan O'Hoppe. It is possible Rores will be traded at the trade deadline. His development is being compared to Teoscar Hernández.
