What will the Rockies do with Rule 5 Draft roster deadline?

By 6 p.m. tonight, the Rockies have some tough choices to make. It’s the deadline for adding Rule 5 Draft eligible players to the 40-man roster. Players who signed professional contracts at age 18 or younger must be added to the 40-man roster within five seasons after signing the contract and those who were 19 years old or older must be added within four seasons. If a player is not added to the 40-man roster, then they are free to be picked up by another organization in the Rule 5 Draft, which is scheduled for Dec. 10.
