With Wednesday's Rule 5 Draft marking the end of the Winter Meetings in San Diego, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff recap all of the news from the busy week that was in the latest MLB Pipeline Podcast.

The crew breaks down baseball's first Draft Lottery, which saw the Pirates land the No. 1 overall pick. They also take a deeper dive into the aforementioned Rule 5 Draft and the Nationals selecting Thad Ward first.

A conversation with Midwest Scout of the Year Steve Williams of the Pirates follows this up before the conversation concludes with an answer to a Rule 5 Draft-related question in the listener mailbag.
