Rule 5 Draft

[82birds]

is today.

The selection order of the teams is based on each team's win–loss record from the prior regular season, as in the amateur draft, each round starting with the team with the worst record and proceeding in order to the team with the best record. Teams may choose not to select any player with their pick, passing to the next team in the order. Any player selected under Rule 5 is immediately added to his new team's 40-man roster; thus, teams who do not have an available roster spot may not participate in the Rule 5 draft. Players who are not currently on their team's 40-man roster are eligible to be selected in the Rule 5 draft, but only after a standard exemption period has elapsed, per selection eligibility below.

If chosen in the Rule 5 draft, a player must be kept on the selecting team's major league active roster for the entire season that follows the draft—the player may not be optioned or designated to the minors. The selecting team may, at any time, waive the Rule 5 draftee. If a Rule 5 draftee clears waivers by not signing with a new MLB team, he must be offered back to the original team, effectively canceling the Rule 5 draft choice. Once a Rule 5 draftee spends an entire season on his new team's active roster, his status reverts to normal and he may be optioned or designated for assignment.

To prevent the abuse of the Rule 5 draft, the rule also states that the draftee must actually be active for at least 90 days. This keeps teams from drafting players, then placing them on the injured list for the majority of the season. For example, if a Rule 5 draftee was only active for 67 days in his first season with his new club, he must be active for an additional 23 days in his second season to satisfy the Rule 5 requirements.

Any player chosen in the Rule 5 draft may be traded to any team while under the Rule 5 restrictions, but the restrictions transfer to the new team. If the new team does not want to keep the player on its active roster for the season, he must be offered back to the team of which he was a member when chosen in the draft.

Minor-league phase
Under the 2017–2021 CBA, organizations could also draft players from Double-A or lower to play for their Triple-A affiliates (for $12,000) and could draft players from Class A teams or lower to play for their Double-A affiliates (for $4,000).[1][10] Starting in 2022, the cost of selecting a player into Triple-A was doubled to $24,000, and the Double-A phase was eliminated.[11]

Milwaukee took Cardinals pitcher Connor Thomas in the 2024 rule 5 draft. It was a strange pick because his minor league numbers were poor. He pitched 5 innings for Milwaukee giving up 12 hits and 12 runs and then they placed him on the injured list for the rest of the season.

Do teams only get one opportunity to pick? i will be interested to see if the Cardinals still have Pete Hansen at the end of the day.

My understanding is that if a team "passes" they are done. If they make a pick they may keep going the next round.

did they change the R5 rules overnight?

or at least from last year?

because these explanations are a bit off from last year.

I guess ai is telling me that it is one round now.

I thought that in the past it would go on. Didn't San Diego grab two top StL prospects one year?

If you draft in the first round, or pass in the first round, you are done til the minor league phase starts.

that's the way it used to be anyway.
