The Dodgers didn’t select any player in the MLB phase of Thursday’s Rule 5 Draft — not surprising seeing as they haven’t selected anyone since taking Seth Rosin in 2014. What’s a little surprising is the fact they lost two prospects: Connor Joe and Drew Jackson.
The Reds selected Joe and the Phillies selected Jackson — who cost $100,000 (up from $50,000 in the previous CBA). Each player must remain on the 25-man roster (or disabled list) for the entire season, otherwise they have to offer him back to the Dodgers for $50,000.
