1954
Roberto Clemente signed as a free agent with the Dodgers on February 19, 1954 for a reported $5,000 salary and a $10,000 bonus. MLB Rules, at the time, stated that any player signed for more than $4,000 had to spend two straight years on the major league roster else risk losing him in the offseason draft. But the Dodgers put him with the Montreal Royals of the International League for the 1954 season. The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Clemente as a Rule 5 draftee after the 1954 season.
