Here's every pick of this year's Rule 5 Draft

8:04 PM UTC

DALLAS -- Major League clubs gathered on Wednesday, the last full day of the Winter Meetings, to take part in the Rule 5 Draft. During the annual event, clubs have an opportunity to add low-risk, high-ceiling talent to their organizations, providing players with the chance to reach the big leagues and remain on a Major League roster for the entire upcoming season.

Below are the results of this year's Rule 5 Draft, the order of which was dictated by the reverse order of last season's standings, unlike the amateur Draft (Rule 4), whose order is now determined in part by a Lottery. A team must have room on its 40-man roster to make a pick, so each team’s 40-man status is included in parentheses. Clubs pay $100,000 to select a player in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft, but if that player doesn't stay on the active Major League roster for the full season, he must be offered back to his former team for $50,000.

Players who turned pro at age 18 or younger in 2020 or at age 19 or older in 2021 are eligible for selection in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft if he isn't on a 40-man roster.
