So many of us have been looking at FA possibilities and trade possibilities that most have not paid any attention to the first date that will impact the 2020 Dodgers roster. The 40 man roster needs to be set by November 20, 2019 with all Rule 5 eligible prospects protected. The actual Rule 5 draft will take place on Thursday, December 12, 2019. That gives AF and his staff less than two weeks to finalize the 40 man. The next critical date that can impact the 40 man roster is the non-tender date; December 2. We can review the considerations for these decisions a little closer to the date.
