Last year, 25 players were selected in the draft, with the Blue Jays picking up reliever Angel Bastardo.<\/p>\n<p>After being picked, any player\u00a0drafted must be then placed on their new team&#8217;s 26-man roster, or otherwise they will end up on waivers again if attempted to be returned to the minor leagues.<\/p>\n<p>36 of the Blue Jays&#8217;\u00a0own players are at risk of being scooped up by other teams this year, even if most of them will end up sticking around.<\/p>\n<p>With a hat-tip to <a href=\"https:\/\/tjstats.ca\/2025\/10\/20\/2025-rule-5-eligible-players\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TJStats.ca, which compiled the league-wide resource<\/a> of Rule-5 eligible players, here&#8217;s the list of Blue Jays prospects that are set to be eligible for next month&#8217;s annual redistribution draft.<\/p>\n<p>AAA<\/p>\n<p>Josh Kasevich, SS\/3B<br \/>\nConnor Cooke, RP<br \/>\nRyan Jennings, RP<br \/>\nYohendrick Pinango, LF\/RF<br \/>\nJimmy Burnette, RP<br \/>\nRyan McCarty, 2B\/LF\/3B<br \/>\nHunter Gregory, RP<br \/>\nTrenton Wallace, SP\/RP<br \/>\nRiley Tirotta, 3B\/1B\/RF<br \/>\nChad Dallas, SP<br \/>\nCJ Van Eyk, SP<br \/>\nDamiano Palmegiani, 1B\/3B\/LF<br \/>\nHayden Juenger, RP<\/p>\n<p>AA<\/p>\n<p>Dahian Santos, SP\/RP<br \/>\nT.J.
