The Kansas City Royals selected the contracts of Cheslor Cuthbert from Double A Northwest Arkansas and Lane Adams, Christian Colon and Michael Mariot Triple A Omaha and placed them on the Royals 40 man roster. The move was made to protect the players from the upcoming Rule 5 draft on December 12. It is interesting to see which players an organization values as it moves the draft eligible players under the protective roster umbrella.
