Just like we did last year we took a look at all rosters from AAA to A (Reno Aces, Amarillo Sod Poodles, Hillsboro Hops and Visalia Rawhide) and calculate who are Rule 5 eligible this off-season.

As we know, due to the CBA issues there was no Rule 5 draft in 2021, but the D-Backs had to make some movements leaving some players protected and others unprotected.
