Cam Collier Faces Deadline for Reds 40-Man Roster Protection

Former first-round pick Cam Collier requires protection on the Cincinnati Reds' 40-man roster by Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 6:00 PM ET to avoid exposure in December's Rule 5 Draft. Collier, a Top 30 prospect in the Reds system who finished the 2026 season with the Chattanooga Lookouts, is among four eligible top prospects. Cincinnati currently holds 37 players on its 40-man roster, leaving limited room to shield eligible prospects without removing current roster members.
