Here is every pick from the 2025 Rule 5 Draft

17 minutes ago

ORLANDO -- Major League clubs gathered on the last full day of the Winter Meetings to take part in the Rule 5 Draft. The annual event gives clubs an opportunity to add low-risk, high-ceiling talent to their organizations, providing players with the chance to reach the big leagues and remain on a Major League roster for the entire upcoming season.

Rule 5 Draft
• Each pick from the 2025 Rule 5 Draft
• Most recent keepers | Best picks of past decade
• Past results | A history of the Rule 5 Draft

Below are this year's Rule 5 Draft results, in the reverse order of last season's standings, unlike the amateur Draft (Rule 4), the order of which is now determined in part by a lottery. A team must have room on its 40-man roster to make a pick. Clubs pay $100,000 to select a player in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft, but if that player doesn't stay on the active Major League roster for the full season, he must be offered back to his former team for $50,000.

Players who turned pro at age 18 or younger in 2021 or at age 19 or older in 2022 are eligible for selection in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft if he isn't on a 40-man roster.
