Here's a roster question: why can't the Brewers simply release John Axford instead of moving him to the 60 day DL? He will not be able to pitch again this season, contract is guaranteed, he will be a free agent after 2021.

I'm sure that the union would have something to say about that. The Brewers are 100% responsible for his medical care.

[roadcrew3]

Probably a bad look and would piss off the players union if they release a guy due to injury when he is already out for the season (not taking a roster spot) and a free agent at year end. Plus it lets the player have access to your medical staff and the facilities for rehab.

...and being responsible for his medical care isn't going to change if they release him or not.

 

Service time arguments maybe for pension benefits, but still.

to make room on the 40-man, kyle lobstein has been designated for assignment. the brewers have seven days to release or try to outright him to the minors. if he clears outright waivers, he reserves the right to refuse the minor league assignment and become a free agent.

[JohnBriggs12]

Where are all those that were ready to release big Dan? Gotta have for the universal DH for 2022! Dan's the man for that role.

[djoctagone]

colin rea has his contract selected from class aaa nashville. he has one minor league option remaining. with a petition to the commissioner, rea could be on the brewers' postseason roster.

 

to make room on the 40-man, tim lopes was designated for assignment. the club has seven days to release him or try to outright him to the minors.

 

the 40-man roster is at capacity.

[djoctagone]

john axford was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and he declared free agency.

 

john curtiss, mark mathias, angel perdomo and justin topa remain on the 60-day injured list. they will need to be activated and returned to the 40-man roster, or be placed on outright waivers.

 

brett anderson, brad boxberger, eduardo escbobar, daniel norris, manny pina, colin rea and hunter strickland all filed for free agency.

 

trevor gott signed a major league deal with the brewers. he is out of minor league options, but has cleared outright waivers multiple times in the past.

 

the roster is at 34 players.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

The Brewers have until November 7th to reinstate the four players from the 60 day dl. All four are on the bubble but since they have the room I assume all will be kept for now. Curtiss/Topa will likely get put back on the 60 day as soon as they are allowed to in the spring.

[djoctagone]

avisaíl garcía has declined his half of a mutual option and is now a free agent.

 

the roster is at 33 players.

[djoctagone]

luke maile and eric yardley have been placed on outright waivers and thus, are no longer part of the 40-man roster.

 

the roster is at 31 players.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

I did not see it noted anywhere but the Brewers website shows that john curtiss, mark mathias, angel perdomo and justin topa all have been re-instated from the 60 day IL and are now on the 40 man roster. All four remain with the club (...for now )

 

Roster is at 35

[djoctagone]

mike brosseau has been acquired from tampa bay for a minor leaguer. he has two minor league options remaining, and has yet to be outrighted to the minor leagues.

 

the roster is at 36 players.

[brewmann04]

3 possible relievers for the pen.

[markedman5]

Mathias outrighted to Nashville

 

[djoctagone]

the roster is at 35 players.

[Outlander]

So they decided not to protect anybody else I guess.

[Joseph Zarr]

So they decided not to protect anybody else I guess.

 

It would appear so. What I see is Mathias was outrighted and they keep 5 open roster spots for the time being. No signings reported or announced.

[Eye Black]

The Brewers currently have the highest number of open 40-man roster spots in the NL, and only trail the A’s overall who have 6 open spots. There are 13 teams with full 40-man rosters.

 

Have to imagine some additions are on the horizon fairly soon.

[brewcrewdue80]

Maybe because of 2020 there could be a few rule 5s that interest in taking? Guys maybe at A+ and very little AA level who normally would been AA and AAA level protected by teams. Take the RP attempt or maybe even a Catcher the team is mildly behind(not for 2022 but beyond)

You also have spots to sign FAs without needing to remove a player from the 40man to do so.
