That Triple-A roster designation is simply a procedural move-the player can be assigned to play at any level in the minors by his new team and there are no other roster requirements.
Once a player is selected, the selecting team pays $24,500 to the previous team and the player is added to the selecting club’s Triple-A roster. Unlike the MLB Rule 5 draft, there are no roster restrictions or other rules when it comes to MiLB Rule 5 picks. If the MLB portion of the Rule 5 draft went first, any player picked in the MLB Rule 5 draft who was on the Triple-A roster would open up a roster spot in the MiLB Rule 5 draft.
#MINOR LEAGUE PHILLIES FONT FULL#
If a team has a full Triple-A roster of 38, it will not be allowed to select anyone in the MiLB portion of the Rule 5 draft (and once a team hits 38 it can no longer pick anyone else). That flipping of the expected schedule will lead to some knock-on effects. Normally, the draft has been the final event of the Winter Meetings, as everyone gathers in a hotel ballroom to rattle through a fast and furious 50-70 picks. MLB teams are not attending the Winter Meetings because of the lockout, so the draft will now be a teleconference. The major league Rule 5 draft could follow in the future, but it's currently on hold because of the MLB lockout, which only impacts players on 40-man rosters. Instead of a major league Rule 5 draft followed by a minor league portion, there will be a minor league Rule 5 draft on Dec. This week there will be a Rule 5 draft the likes of which none of us has ever seen. Update: We have added a notation of which players were selected and by whom.
