Talented prospects are saved as Blue Jays avoid losing any players in Rule 5 draft

The Toronto Blue Jays didn't lose a single player in the MLB Rule 5 Draft, which is good news considering the prospects that were at risk of being selected.

Toronto left three of its top 12 prospects unprotected for the draft, but all three players slipped by unselected. Josh Kasevich, Victor Arias and Yohendrick Pinango — the Blue Jays' number 12, number 9, and number 7 ranked prospects according to MLB Pipeline — will be staying in the organization for now.

He hits the ball as hard as almost anyone in the minors and does it with well-above-average contact rates ud83dudd25 pic.
