The Braves selected a Guardians infielder in the major league phase of the Rule 5 draft.
DALLAS — The Rule 5 Draft always comes at the end of the winter meetings, but it is hardly an afterthought to the people who prepare and execute it.
If they can’t, they have to return him to Cleveland along with $50,000. Cairo, a fourth-round pick in 2019, hit .241 with four homers and three RBI at Class AAA Columbus. The Rule 5 Draft was implemented to give players a shot for advancement who may be blocked in their current organization. For Cairo, this is a chance to play in the big leagues.
Labaut, a 35th round pick of the Guardians in 2019, went 3-6 with a 4.57 ERA in 36 games at Class AA Akron. He made seven starts and pitched 61 innings. Wilson, who has been in the Giants' minor league system since 2021, hit .216 with five homers and 45 RBI last season at Class AA and Class AAA. The 25-year-old right-handed hitter can play shortstop, second and third.
