Follow 2023 Rule 5 Draft live from Nashville (2 p.m. ET)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Major League clubs gathered on the last full day of the Winter Meetings on Wednesday in Nashville to take part in the Rule 5 Draft. The event, being held in person for the first time in three years, gives clubs an opportunity to add low-risk, high-ceiling talent to their organizations. Yankees prospect Mitch Spence was selected by the A’s with the first pick in the Major League phase.

The Rule 5 Draft order is dictated by the reverse order of last season’s standings, unlike the amateur Draft (Rule 4), whose order is now determined in part by a Lottery. A team must have room on its 40-man roster to make a pick, so each team’s 40-man status is included in parentheses in the results list below. 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.

Here are the pick-by-pick results from the 2023 Rule 5 Draft, with the organization players are selected from in parentheses:

There is also a Minor League phase of the Rule 5 Draft, with the costs rising from $12,000 to $24,000 for a Triple-A pick (anyone not protected on a big league or Triple-A roster is eligible). The Double-A phase has been eliminated. Players selected in this portion of the Rule 5 Draft aren’t subject to any roster restrictions with their new organizations. Once a team passes once, they are done for the remainder of the Draft.
