The Rule 5 Draft is nearing and the Boston Red Sox should be active. They'll surely eye attractive picks around the league, as well as protect some of their most intriguing prospects who would otherwise be claimed by other clubs.
Don’t be surprised if they lose a few names in the draft, as well as add someone. They’ve seen recent success with Garrett Whitlock and Justin Slaten, who were both Rule 5 selections.
It’s impossible to determine who will be selected in a Rule 5 Draft this early because teams are going to protect players (putting them on their 40-man roster), and other teams will have a chance to make selections as well.
