Rejoice, we have some actual Major League Baseball news! At least, we kind of do, as yesterday, the minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft was able to take place.
While the current MLB lockout prevents the usual free agency and trades from taking place, transactions that don’t involve those on the 40-man roster, i.e. the players who are currently part of the MLB Players Association that is locked out, can still take place.
It’s not much, but in these slow news times, we’ll take it for the time being — so hurry up and come to an agreement, MLB and MLBPA, pretty please.
