While all the headlines at the 2019 Winter Meetings focused on some of the top players in the MLB free agent and trade markets, the Rule 5 draft also took place on Thursday, which featured a number of baseball’s most intriguing prospects.
The Dodgers declined to participate in the big league portion of the draft, conceivably indicating that boss Andrew Friedman and his crew are relatively happy with the dynamic with the team’s active roster. When a team selects a player in the draft, that player must be kept on the team’s 26-man roster for the duration of the subsequent season.
