The 2020 Rule 5 Draft is now in the books, and there’s no doubt the 18 players taken in the Major League phase on Thursday, not to mention the 14 teams acquiring players, hope they stick in the big leagues for all of 2021 and beyond.
History tells us that’s unlikely to happen. While a solid percentage of Rule 5 picks get at least some big league time the season following their selection, it’s not so easy to stick around for an entire year. Below is the last Rule 5 selection (or player traded for immediately following the Rule 5 Draft) for each team to stick with that team all year. This was no small task, as we had to go digging far into the past to find a player who fit the bill for some teams.
