Players with at least three years of professional service who are not protected on a team’s major league roster are eligible for selection by another club for $100,000 (prior to 1985 the draft price was $25,000 – prior to 2016 the draft price was $50,000). The drafted player must remain with his new club for the full season or be offered back to his original club for $50,000. The drafting is in reverse order of previous season records and alternating between leagues. Following this major league draft, a separate selection is held by National Association clubs from class AAA to A levels. An “AAA” selection price is $24,000. A “AA” selection previously was $4,000 but was eliminated in 2016.
