NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers’ triple-A team at Oklahoma selected right-hander Carson Fulmer from Cincinnati on Wednesday with the 39th and final pick of the triple-A phase of Major League Baseball’s annual draft of unprotected players.
The major league phase of the Rule 5 draft was postponed because of MLB’s lockout of the players’ association, which started last week following the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement.
The triple-A phase involved players left off 38-man triple-A rosters. Players had to be protected if they signed initially in 2017 or 2018, the year depending on the player’s age when he signed and whether he played college baseball.
The Toronto Blue Jays’ triple-A team at Buffalo selected right-hander Abdiel Mendoza from the Texas Rangers’ system. The Blue Jays also lost right-hander Curtis Taylor to the Washington Nationals and outfielder Tanner Kirwer to the Seattle Mariners.
A club selecting a player must pay $24,500 to the former team. The player can be assigned to any level.
Fulmer, 27, has spent parts of six seasons in the major leagues. He had a 6.66 ERA in 20 relief appearances for Cincinnati during the first two months of last season, was assigned outright to triple-A Louisville on May 24 and finished 1-5 with a 4.61 ERA in two starts and 35 relief appearances for the Bats.
Right-hander Nolan Hoffman was selected by Baltimore from Seattle as the top pick, Pittsburgh took left-hander Zach Matson from Colorado with the second selection and Washington selected second baseman Andrew Young from Arizona with the third.
