Rule 5 Explained
Governing
Rules. Rule 5 refers to Rule 5 of the Major
League Rules. Rule 6 of the Major League Rules also
governs the return of players who were selected in the
Rule 5 Draft.
Overview. Organizations may select
players from other organizations at the Rule 5 Draft in
early December each year. In order to be eligible for
selection, the player must have been in the original
orginazation for a certain number of years (4 of 5 years
depending on what age the player signed). Players on
40-man rosters and free agents are not eligible for
selection. If selected, the player must spend the entire
next season on the selectng club's roster, with limited
exceptions, or the player must be offered back to the
original club. For information regarding players
selected by and from the Red Sox in the Rule 5 Draft,
see the SoxProspects Rule 5 Draft
History Page.
Timing. The Rule 5 Draft is held
annually, typically in December on the last day of the
Winter Meetings.
Eligibility. If the player is 18 years
or younger on the June 5 preceding the player's original
signing date, the player will be eligible to be selected
at the fifth Rule 5 Draft following the player's signing
date. If the player is 19 years or older on the June 5
preceding the player's original signing date, the player
will be eligible to be selected at the fourth Rule 5
Draft following the player's signing date. If the player
signs after the season has been completed for the team
to which his first contract assigns him, he is
considered as having signed after that season's Rule 5
Draft. For example, Luis Alexander Basabe signed on
8/26/2012 at age 16. However, because the DSL Red Sox
season was completed on 8/25/12, he was considered to
have signed after the 2012 Rule 5 Draft, and was
therefore subject to selection at the fifth Rule 5 Draft
following that draft, in 2017.
Protection and Phases. For the Major
League Phase of the Rule 5 Draft, the club must add an
eligible player to its 40-man roster on or before
the protction deadline (~November 20) of the eligible draft year in order to
protect the player from selection in the Rule 5
Draft. For the Minor League Phase of the Rule 5 Draft,
the club must add an eligible player to its Triple-A
Reserve List by that date. The Triple A Reserve List is
analagous to the 40-man roster of the Triple-A level.
Order. MLB clubs select in reverse
order of winning percentage from the previous season,
without regard to division standings or playoff results.
In the case of a tie, order is determined based on the
prior season's winning percentage (in reverse order).
Each club has the right to select one player per round,
and if the club does not select a player, it forfeits
its right of selection for the entire phase. When a
round is complete, the process continues until all teams
have passed.
Rule 6. Under Rule 6, players selected
in the Major League Phase must spend one year on the
selecting team's major league roster (active roster or
DL) or the selecting team must offer the player back to
his original team. The player must also be active for at
least 90 days before that player is optioned, or the
player must be offered back to the original club.
Similarly, players selected in the Minor League Phase of
the draft must be kept on the Triple-A Reserve list or
higher during the season following the draft, but are
not required to actually play the entire season in
Triple-A.
Payment. The selecting team must pay
the player's original team $50,000 for a selection in
the Major League Phase and $12,000 for a selection in
the Minor League Phase.
