In an event known as the Rule 5 draft, 18 players were selected off Triple-A rosters at a cost of $50,000 each. Players chosen in the draft must stay on the active major league roster with their new club all season or be offered back to their old team for $25,000. The Twins lost three players in the draft. Boston and Cleveland each lost two. Fourteen of the 18 players selected were pitchers.
