[kdog36]

Yes or no ?

[DRiccio21]

This is what MLB is doing, correct?

Correct, I posted it in the regular season thread earlier this week.

[GeorgesGoons]

The active roster limit from Opening Day through August 31st and in Postseason games will increase from 25 to 26, and the minimum number of active players will increase from 24 to 25. The current Major League Rules allowing for a 26th player for doubleheaders will be amended to allow for a 27th player.

Elimination of 40-man active roster limit in September. From September 1st through the end of the championship season, all Clubs must carry 28 players on the active roster.

Some of the changes happening in MLB next season

Doesn't hurt I guess. Even though my backup IF didn't even get 100 ABs. If injuries were higher it'd be a no-brainer but I guess it doesn't hurt to have the extra body.

Voted no for this reason.


It's entirely unnecessary for us.

Honestly, it will make waivers worse and the post spring training waiver wire worse. Effectively this makes deep teams better at the expense of weak teams.

Yea, I get that we want to be like ML with things, but if our injuries don't remotely reflect MLB injuries, then we're putting in this rule "just cause."

[Uuaww]

Yeah I mean I'm fine with it bc all it does is help me but I voted against it. Unless I'm missing something.

[GeorgesGoons]

Billy, Where do we stand here? We haven't had anyone vote in a day and a half.

[wdoupis]

I’ll see where it’s at and call it when I sim tomorrow. Right now it’s definitive enough to pass

Wow...this actually a great point and caused me to change my vote. Very well thought out, Teddy.

It's a dumb rule change with no pros to it, I'm confident in that.

I only created the rule change due to MLB going to this next yeear

carry 25 then. and those who want to carry 26 can and have the extra arm or defensive filler if needed

With that logic, we should have no max amount, everyone carry whatever they want.

See Ted's post.

But more importantly, cons are irrelevant if there are no pros, which there aren't.

You basically said so yourself. You said you did it because MLB did it, which is fine. But you didn't actually ever mention any pros for doing it.
