The 2020 Rule 5 draft has come and gone, so naturally we waited nearly five days to write about it in order to fully collect ourselves after the extravagance of the Zoom held event that capped off the virtual Winter Meetings.
The Rays were among the most heavily pilfered teams across the game as they had seven players selected from their system, tying them with the New York Yankees. The Los Angeles Dodgers lost the most players in the draft, with eight players in all being drafted.
Tampa Bay only lost one of their seven players during the Major League phase of the draft, where players taken must stay in the majors or be returned in the following season, with the Miami Marlins selecting RHP Paul Campbell.
