Resetting Rule 5 status

[fireballer55]

Has anyone figured out how to update/edit the Rule 5 status for imported players? I've imported a few prospects for some of the missing top prospects to replace a few of the ~25-27 D-F potential guys. I'm always picking players with 0 days of service time, but I've noticed a few of the 18 year old prospects then are eligible for the rule 5 draft after the first offseason. I'd prefer not to clog up my 40-man with a bunch of guys who will need all 3 years to potentially be a viable player. Rather let them sit in the minors to develop more.

Does anyone know how to edit so they are not rule 5 eligible? I can only find how to edit the service time (which are already at 0 days).

Thanks!

From what I've seen, it seems more tied to age than years of experience.

I specifically picked a 2023 draftee for my MiLB CAP.. if I edit said player to age 23 or over, he's Rule 5 eligible.

So, from what I've seen, the only work around is to edit age down.

... but in franchise sims, I haven't seen many of these guys actually drafted. So maybe not worth the effort?
