Someone noted in the R5 draft thread that the mlb portion has been cancelled but the minor league portion is moving forward like normal..
The question is are they going to reinstate the Rule 5 MLB portion if the lockout ends? Guys essentially lost their places/some their jobs in a sense to keep talent protected and if the draft doesn't happen, did they lose their spots to guys that may not even be MLB ready? It's not like we will see Noel, Tena, etc in 22... Johnson wouldn't have been cut from the 40 man since he still had an option left.
Honestly it's not really a huge deal at the end of the day, but it did lose 90-100 or so players financial security since they are no longer on a 40 man roster/eligible to be called up at the current moment.
