The Major League Baseball Winter Meetings in San Diego, California concluded on Thursday with the annual Rule 5 Draft. The draft can provide a new opportunity for players who have not yet reached the major leagues, based on their age when originally drafted (four years for 19-year-olds and five for 18-year-olds). It’s typically been a popular way to acquire additional players for the Baltimore Orioles.
