The Pittsburgh Pirates had the first pick in this year’s Rule 5 Draft, allowing them to pick any player unprotected on a 40-man roster with at least 5 years of professional time if they were signed when they were 17 or younger, or four years of professional time if they were signed as 18 or older. The Bucs took right-handed pitcher Jose Soriano from the Los Angeles Angles with this pick.
