The Colorado Rockies announced on Thursday that they have selected a right-handed pitcher, Jordan Sheffield, from the Dodgers in the 2020 Rule V draft.

This would have been the concluding event of the 2020 Winter Meetings but due to the pandemic, the Rule V draft and the Winter Meetings, in general, were held virtually in 2020. In the draft, the Colorado Rockies announced that they drafted right-handed relief pitcher Jordan Sheffield from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the draft.
