The Kansas City Royals are going to need to find some roster spots for more than a few players who should be protected from the Rule 5 draft this offseason.
Brian Burrows of Kings Of Kauffman outlines six Kansas City Royals prospects who could be protected on the 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft deadline.
