To be discussed at the 2020 Draft.

Rule 5

  1. Drop the Rule 5 draft completely.
  2. Get rid of the rookie/rookie+1 exemption rules and simply apply the Rule 5 to the entire roster; Rule 5 would then consist of both major and minor league players.
    • Total amount of protected roster spots - 27
    • Total amount of protected roster spots - 30
    • Total amount of protected roster spots - 32
  3. Do not make any changes.
