Happy Holidays, Baltimore Orioles fans! If you are ready for some offseason action in Birdland, today is your day. At 12 pm EST (9 am PST), Major League Baseball will conclude the 2019 Winter Meetings with the annual Rule 5 draft. For the Orioles, this event has been a popular method of acquiring roster pieces.
Since the 2006 Rule 5 draft, the Baltimore Orioles have selected at least one player every single year, including three back in 2018 with RHP Pedro Araujo, RHP Nestor Cortes Jr. and RHP Jose Mesa Jr. None of them are still with the organization.
