A day of forced offseason activity is upon us. By this afternoon, the San Francisco Giants — like all teams — will have to have add certain prospects to the 40-man roster to protect them from December’s Rule 5 Draft.
I wrote about the Rule 5 protections towards the end of the season, and my feelings have changed quite a bit since then. The narrative surrounding the Giants for this draft remains unchanged: it should be mild-mannered. Even with the departure of free agents, the Giants have a quite full roster, with 36 spots already filled.
