Dodgers Lose Depth And Upside As Drew Jackson And Connor Joe Were Selected In 2018 Rule 5 Draft

The Los Angeles Dodgers recently lost a pair of prospects they’d acquired over the past few seasons in the 2018 Rule 5 Draft as Drew Jackson and Connor Joe were taken by the Philadelphia Phillies and Cincinnati Reds, respectively. Jackson was then traded to the Baltimore Orioles.

Jackson was acquired by the Dodgers in exchange for Chase De Jong in March 2017. He spent last season with Double-A Tulsa, batting .251/.356/.447 with 15 home runs and 22 stolen bases. The 25-year-old infielder physically resembles Troy Tulowitzki at shortstop, where his size belies his quickness and agility.
