Once again MLB has spoken, and the Dodgers farm system was the #1 shopping source for Rule 5 draftees. In the Major League Phase, the acquiring team “buys” the player for $100,000 and must keep that player on the roster for the entire 2021 season, or offer the player back for $50,000. Overall, 2 of the top 7 picks of the Major League Phase were Dodgers. RHRP Brett de Geus was the #2 selection and went to the Texas Rangers. RHRP, and former 1st round draft pick out of Vanderbilt, Jordan Sheffield was the #7 overall pick going to Colorado.
