Blue Jays: Five Interesting Arms Available in Rule 5 Draft
The Blue Jays have a history of success with Rule 5 draft picks. As they continue their rebuild in 2020, which pitchers could they target for depth, especially if en Giles is traded?
Toronto GM Ross Atkins has promised fans a “competitive” team from 2021. So as the Jays continue to rebuild in 2020, their fifth selection in the Rule 5 Draft this December 12th in San Diego offers an opportunity to acquire overlooked talent.
Given ongoing trade talk around closer Ken Giles, the Rule 5 Draft is also a chance to acquire pitching depth. With question marks about the three remaining lefties on the 40-man roster, targeting a LHP makes sense as well.
