This deadline holds significant importance as any eligible player left unprotected becomes available for the MLB Rule 5 Draft, which will take place at the winter meetings on Dec. 11. For players who signed their initial contract as 18-year-olds or younger, they become eligible for the Rule 5 draft after their fifth professional season. On the other hand, those who initially signed at 19 or older are eligible after their fourth professional season. Unlock the Potential of MLB's Rule 5 Draft

Added: RHP Rolldy MuñozAnalysis: Muñoz is a power-armed right-hander who now has the opportunity to compete for a relief role with the Braves in 2025. In 2024, between High-A Rome and Double-A Mississippi, he struck out 34.6% of the batters he faced. His strength lies in a hellacious upper-90s fastball combined with an upper-80s slider. However, he needs to work on tightening his command.Baltimore Orioles (37)

Added: RHP Logan Henderson, RHP Chad PatrickAnalysis: Henderson made two starts in High-A, nine in Double-A, and ended the year with six starts in Triple-A. He finished with a 3.32 ERA across 81.1 innings and had a 106-26 K-BB mark. Standing at 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds, his strength is his ability to pound the strike zone and keep hitters off balance with a plus changeup. His fastball has good carry, sitting at 91-94 mph and touching 95, but it isn't overpowering. His lack of an average breaking ball makes him heavily dependent on his fastball/changeup mix.In 2023, Patrick had a 5.59 ERA between Double-A and Triple-A. He first played with the Athletics before being traded to the D-backs at the deadline for second baseman Jace Peterson. After the season, Arizona sent him to Milwaukee for third baseman Abraham Toro. In 2024 with Triple-A Nashville, he posted a 2.90 ERA in 136.1 innings with 145 strikeouts and 39 walks. Patrick's fastball sits at 91-94 mph and touches 96, but his most relied-upon pitch is his mid-to-upper-80s cutter, which can miss bats and generate weak contact.Minnesota Twins (37)

Added: LHP Joe Rock, LHP Ian SeymourAnalysis: The Rays picked up Rock in a trade that sent Greg Jones to the Rockies. He is a well-rounded lefty with a plus slider. His ability to mix pitches and locate makes him a potential back-of-the rotation starter or a bulk innings reliever. However, his lack of velocity (90-93 mph fastball) could limit his ceiling.Seymour bounced back well from Tommy John surgery and once again became a funky lefty with a baffling changeup. He has enough fastball (90-93 mph) and a decent slider to disrupt hitters' timing.Texas Rangers (37)

Added: OF Robert Hassell III, RHP Andry LaraAnalysis: Hassell was a key part of the blockbuster trade that sent Juan Soto to the Padres in 2022. However, injuries have affected him during the 2023 season and this year. He returned to the Arizona Fall League and had success in his third go-around. He hit.281 with seven doubles, one triple, four homers, 19 RBIs, eight walks, and five stolen bases, helping the Salt River Rafters win the AFL Championship.Lara pitched to a 3.34 ERA across High-A and Double-A in his fourth professional season with the Nationals. He led Washington's farm system in wins (11) and WHIP (1.16), and his 132 strikeouts were third most across the Nationals' affiliates. Lara's 86-87 mph slider gained two ticks of velocity since last year and remains his best pitch.
