As the MLB season comes to an end, there will be a lot action immediately following the World Series. One of the big events that teams are preparing for is the annual Rule 5 Draft which takes place at the end of the winter meetings. Players not on a 40-man roster that meet the eligibility for the Rule 5 Draft can be selected by any team for a payment of $100,000 to the losing team. The player must then remain on the major league roster or be offered back to the losing team at a cost of $50,000.
