Guardians Prospect Selected By Atlanta Braves In MLB Rule 5 Draft

MLB's Rule 5 Draft is one of the most intriguing parts of the sport.

Prospects who signed at age 18 or younger and have yet to be added to their team's 40-man roster within five seasons are eligible to be selected by another organization.

The only caveat is that they stay on the Major League roster for an entire big league season.

The Cleveland Guardians did not make any selections in the Major League phase of the 2024 Rule 5 Draft, but they did lose one of their prospects once it had concluded.

The Atlanta Braves selected INF Christian Cairo in the draft's second round.
