The Rule 5 Draft rarely wins awards for excitement, but it has a quiet way of sneaking useful players into big league stories. The New York Mets have felt that ripple before. Mark Canha spent time in the Rule 5 system, as did Luis Torrens, and long before their Queens runs, both Johan Santana and RA Dickey took Rule 5 detours of their own. They didn’t join the Mets through the draft itself, yet their paths show how this understated process can uncover real value. The 2025 edition kept things modest, though there was still enough activity to warrant a quick tour.
