Re: the bolded.
It does. Specifically. How did the player go from one team to another according to your own statement?
By being released, which makes him a free agent, and then being signed to a new contract by the new club., i.e. actions covered by Rule 5(c)(4)(B) and 5(c)(4)(C). In those cases the player is subject to selection in any Rule 5 draft if the player is on the roster of a minor league club.
I suggest reading the rules again. I'll grant you the legalese-style in which they are written can make it difficult to parse at first, but with repeated it gets easier to understand.
