Major League Rule V Draft
The Major League Rule V Draft occurs at baseball's annual winter
meetings in December. Players eligible for the draft must meet the following
two requirements: (1) at least three years of professional service and (2) not
protected on a 40-man roster. The selecting team must pay $50,000 to the player's
original club. If a selected player does not make the team's Opening Day roster,
he must be offered back to the original club for $25,000.
