Rule 5 Draft results: Giants active in the Minor League portion
On Wednesday the Rule 5 Draft took place, and it was a quiet year for the San Francisco Giants in the Major League phase. We knew going into the draft that the Giants wouldn’t select any player in the Major League phase, as the Willy Adames signing becoming official filled out their 40-man roster, keeping them from being able to participate. The Giants also didn’t lose a player in the Major League portion which, while less guaranteed, wasn’t much of a surprise either.
Like most teams, though, the Giants were fairly active in the Minor League phase, gaining and losing a fair number of prospects.
