Below is a list of 13 names that share two common links.
1)They’re all Sox minor leaguers eligible for the Rule 5 Draft in December (meaning the Red Sox either have to add them to the 40-man roster by that time or risk having them snatched up by another team).
2) They all rank in the top 30 in the current listing at soxprospects.com.
If you’re not a prospect hound, you’re not going to care about most of these names, but I promise, they’re relevant to the trade deadline. So here’s the list so we can start diving deeper:
Richard Fitts
Allan Castro
Eddinson Paulino
Matthew Lugo
Yordanny Monegro
Blaze Jordan
Nick Yorke
Ryan Zeferjahn
Angel Bastardo
Nathan Hickey
Luis Guerrero
Hunter Dobbins
Zach Penrod
For twelve of these names, the connections don’t stop there.
