Each year the Bound Edition contains a chapter called “The 40-Man Roster Conundrum” that breaks down the decisions facing the Rangers, like all teams, between the end of the season and November 20, the date on which minor league players with certain amounts of service time must be added to the roster in order to be shielded from the Rule 5 Draft. The chapter explains the process (as well as how the Draft works), and focuses specifically on this year’s Texas roster and the club’s minor league crop of draft-eligibles, predicting at the end what I think the Rangers will do.
