Jim Callis reports via Twitter that the Chicago Cubs have drafted Mason Tobin from the LA Angels seventh overall in the Rule 5 draft and traded him to the Rangers for cash. Tobin was a promising prospect for the Angels before arm injuries knocked him out for almost two entire seasons.
The Rangers did not lose a player in the major league phase of the draft. The Pirates owned the first pick in the draft and selected Josh Rodriguez, a utility infielder from the Indians.
