As the offseason moves along, a pair of important deadlines are fast approaching. Tuesday, November 18th is the deadline for teams to add eligible prospects to the 40-man roster to protect them from December’s Rule 5 draft. If left unprotected, a player can be taken by another team and must be added to the Major League roster. The White Sox 40-man roster currently sits at 35 and the team has a handful of players who need to be protected. Unless they can find a way to clear a couple more 40-man spots, it seems likely that the White Sox will need to leave someone unprotected.
