The MLB Rule 5 Draft offers a unique opportunity for teams to acquire unprotected prospects. The Cleveland Guardians opted not to select any players during the 2024 draft but lost infielder Christian Cairo to the Atlanta Braves.

Cairo, a former fourth-round pick, had a modest performance in the minor leagues last season. The Braves, looking to bolster their infield, may see potential in him as they evaluate their roster during Spring Training.
