40 man roster explanation please

By curt1965

· 2,187 views

Could someone tell me how adding and subtracting players to/from the 40 man roster works? For example- let's say the Twins want to bring up Fryer, and therefore would need to add him to the 40 man. In addition, they DFA Herrmann and remove him from the 40 man. Fryer gets hurt or is ineffective, can they reverse everything in a month or so?

Same with O'Rourke. Say he gets bombed, hurt, etc. Can they just remove him and add someone else?

    Thanks Chief! Needed to read all 4 to completely understand the process. I think I've got it!

    I'll pour over these too, at some point.

     

    But it occurred to me to ask. How is Santana's post season suspension handled from a team perspective?

     

    Does it have the same effect as someone not being able to play due to injury and thus being on the DL allows the team to replace that player with someone from the September call ups?

    I believe anyone who has been on the 25 man roster prior to September 1st is eligible for the playoffs. This is one deciding factor in the waiver trade deadline being August 31st.

    Suspended players are placed on the "restricted list" which don't count towards the 40-man roster.

     

    I think he'd stay on the 40-man for the playoffs, though. He is just ineligible to be added to the playoff roster.
