The minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft will take place via teleconference today at 2:00 p.m. ET. Last year, the Marlins selected right-hander Dylan Bice, infielder Marcus Chiu and left-hander Jake Fishman. Teams can only make picks during this phase if they have open spots on their Triple-A reserve list. It’s unclear how much wiggle room the Marlins have and who’s actually unprotected across the league.
JJ Cooper of Baseball America confirms that the major league Rule 5 is “expected to take place soon after whenever the lockout ends/new CBA is agreed to.
