It's a pittance and not likely to mean much in a modern league, but I'm nearly positive you do not *lose* money by sending a player back to his original team.

LGO might correct you (and most others in this thread) by pointing out that there is no Rule V. It's Rule 5.
The Rule 5 draft as implemented in OOTP is a major league Rule 5 draft, although in real life, there are lower level Rule 5 selections as well. I'm not sure how often those are used, but they let teams claim players to play for a higher minor league affilliate at a reduced rate to the ML $50k.
