I'm not understanding this concept of "protection" under these circumstances. Clearly, according to my understanding of the rules, if a player has 6+ years of accrued service time and does not possess a contract at the end of the season, he's eligible to become a FA regardless of his status on the 40-man. What am I missing?

Edit: I see what I'm missing in reading your player profile. His service time is Professional, not Major League.
