2021 Minor League Draft Rule 5 results follow-up

The major league part of the rule 5 draft may be suspended, but the minor league phase is proceeding as planned.

You can find our rundown of the intriguing names teams might covet. Several launchers from the Rays and Guardians organizations are on our radar.

Unlike the draft MLB Rule 5, there are no list restrictions or other rules with respect to MiLB Rule 5 choices. Once a player is selected, the selection team pays the previous team $ 24,500 and the player is added to the selection club’s AAA list. This Triple-A roster designation is simply a procedural move – the player can be assigned to any level in the minors by their new team and there are no other roster requirements.

Of the 56 players selected in last year’s MiLB Rule 5 draft, 54 have played for their new clubs, five have reached the major leagues and 16 have played in Triple-A.

Below we will follow the results of each selection. The order is as follows.
