The Minnesota Twins made some decisions on several of their prospects this past week and whether or not to protect them from Rule 5 selection next month at the MLB Winter Meetings. One prospect that was being watched with the most curiosity was former first-round selection Tyler Jay. In the end, Jay was left off of the 40-man roster and has now completed what is an unfortunate fall from first round selection to being left available for every other MLB team to take.
Now there is no guarantee that someone will take Jay due to the rules in place that any team that selects him would have to keep him on their active 25-man roster for all of 2019.
