Sure. It happens. It happened to the Giants just a few years ago (I forget who, but I think the pitcher went to Arizona?)Not necessarily. The amount they would have to pay him as a Rule 5 could well be less than a deal on the market. I doubt that his likelihood of getting drafted is high but I do think it is a real (if slight) possibility.
I just think it is a long shot, and if it does happen, who really cares?
could a team draft a player from their own org? That would be a way around the DFA system.. (team drafts their own non-roster player, putting him on the 40; team then “returns” the player back to themselves, removing them from the 40)
