With the 2021 MLB season officially over now after the Atlanta Braves won the World Series, the MLB offseason begins anew as we look forward to next year. As such, teams everywhere are making moves in order to help prepare them for the future. The first step towards building a foundation of organizational depth is the Rule 5 Draft, which happens later this year in December. Without getting into the intricacies of the draft<\/a>, the basic premise is to help avoid teams hoarding their talent and to protect those players who have been signed at an earlier age and who have been with the club for five years to either finally get that chance with their original club or a new one. In recent years, there have been some (eventually) notable players that have been selected by new teams and succeeded, such as Victor Reyes<\/a>,\u00a0Anthony Santander<\/a>, Ryan Pressly<\/a> and more. It’s definitely an upcoming event that should be taken seriously, because there are always opportunities to improve and this is one of them.<\/p>\n
