The Rule 5 Draft just wrapped, and the ripple effects are HUGE. Several teams' Top 30 prospect rankings have been completely reshuffled. Are these changes justified, or are some teams overreacting?
The Blue Jays are stashing injured pitcher Angel Bastardo, betting on his long-term potential. Is this a smart strategy, or are they wasting a roster spot? The Orioles lost their high-upside arm, Juan Nuñez, to the Padres. Will Nuñez flourish in San Diego, or will he be returned to Baltimore? This high-risk, high-reward move by the Padres is intriguing, to say the least.
The Twins snagged Eiberson Castellano, a pitcher with a tantalizing three-pitch mix. Could he be a dark horse candidate for Rookie of the Year? The Angels grabbed Garrett McDaniels, hoping he can shore up their lefty relief. Is he the answer to their bullpen woes, or just another temporary fix?
The A's lost Cooper Bowman to the Reds. Was this a missed opportunity for Oakland, or are they confident in their remaining prospects? The Mets are replacing Mike Vasil with Eli Serrano III. Is this an upgrade, or a downgrade? This move has me scratching my head.
The Nationals added Evan Reifert and his devastating slider. Could he be a future closer? The Brewers are hoping Connor Thomas' ground-ball tendencies will play well in their infield defense. Is this a match made in heaven, or a recipe for disaster? The Cubs picked up Gage Workman, another player with questionable contact skills. Are they setting him up for success, or failure? Finally, the Reds are betting on Cooper Bowman’s speed and versatility. Will he be a valuable asset, or a liability?
