Braves quiet in Rule 5 Draft, make one pick in minors phase
"There was nothing of note for the Braves in the major league portion. With a full 40-man roster, the Braves did not make any picks, nor were their players eligible to be taken in the major league phase, including Blake Burkhalter, snapped up by anyone else."
"At the time of writing, the minor league phase only had a little bit of action this time, with 28 picks. Players picked during the minor league phase are not subject to any roster restrictions in the following season, or otherwise. The Braves picked up outfielder Carter Howell from the Giants. Howell was an undrafted free agent who hit pretty well (with an OBP-over-SLG profile) until repeating Double-A last year, where he faltered."
The major-league portion of the Rule 5 Draft featured 12 teams making a combined 13 picks, with many clubs passing. Notable selections included R.J. Petit (from the Tigers to the Rockies), Jedixson Paez (from the Red Sox to the White Sox), and Peyton Pallette (from the White Sox to the Guardians). The Braves had a full 40-man roster and therefore made no major-league picks and had no eligible players lost. The minor-league phase included 28 selections; those picks are not subject to roster restrictions the following season. The Braves acquired outfielder Carter Howell from the Giants; Howell was an undrafted free agent who hit well earlier in his career but struggled after repeating Double-A and will turn 27 soon.
