This year, the draft takes place on Thursday at 9AM EST or 6AM PST for us California peeps and you can catch a live stream of the Rule 5 Draft on MLB.com. But before you wake up early to watch the Angels nab the next big star, let’s take a look at last few years
2016: Justin Haley, RHP (Red Sox) - Was promptly traded to the Twins who flipped him to the Padres. The Angels spent 100K on Haley so they must have had a deal in place to get a decent amount of cash back in return (no PTNL was exchanged)
2015: Deolis Guerra, RHP (Pirates) - Guerra had a pretty solid 2016 and less than desirable (though not terrible) 2017.
