The deadline for protecting prospects from the Rule 5 draft passed last night, and the Rays have filled 7 of their 8 open spots on their 40 Man Roster.
Some real easy choices in that list (Honeywell and Bauers), with Jose Mujica being a bit more of a debate. The most notable names left unprotected:
#Rays Rule 5 players of interest:
Johnny Field
Kean Wong
Kyle Bird
Burch Smith
Travis Ott
Nick Ciuffo
Varying degrees of course— Steve Kinsella (@Steve_Kinsella1) November 21, 2017Guys like Kean Wong and Johnny Field have shown some interesting promise, same with Burch Smith and Travis Ott.
