Today was the deadline for Rule 5 protections. The Dodgers had 20 prospects that would be eligible for the Rule 5 Draft if not added to the Dodgers’ 40-man roster by 5:00 PM today. Dustin predicted five protected players, and went 4/5 in his picks. Not bad.
The Dodgers today selected the contracts of RHP Yadier Alvarez, INF Matt Beaty, INF Edwin Ríos, C Keibert Ruiz and RHP Josh Sborz.

The Keibert Ruiz protection was the first to come out this morning.
