Welcome back to The Baseball Insiders Prospects Show with Adam Weinrib & FanSided’s Eric Cole. It’s Rule 5 protection week: who made 40-man rosters, who didn’t, and which unprotected names are most likely to get snatched at the Winter Meetings? We break down why relievers with upper-minors swing-and-miss stuff rule the day, the annual Yankees bullpen squeeze, a few eyebrow-raising protection calls, and the “don’t overreact” top-10s who probably won’t be drafted.

We also hit Pirates buzz about a 19-year-old phenom fast-track, service-time reality versus PR, and a late-night move involving a once-elite pitching prospect that raised medical red flags.
