it's official . . . and in a move that may surprise some, every single club extended a pdl invitation accepted it.
-
today's the deadline to sign 10-year professional development licenses. we will see what happens with nashville, biloxi and wisconsin (grand chute).
-
yes, but that's an on-field playing rule, not a rule regarding roster construction. again, the most significant change for 2021 roster management is eliminating outright waivers to return replacement players to the minors, provided those players were activated during a covid-19 outbreak. no other team can claim them in this instance.
-
with a collective bargaining agreement set to expire after this year, anything is possible. and as we saw last year, it was negotiated to start with a 30-man, then a 28-man, and then whittle down to a 26-man. mlb and the players union renegotiated in-season to stick with 28 players, including the postseason, and increased the taxi squad limit from three to five. it's a pandemic. nothing can be permanent.

clubs are limited to 75 players in spring camp. with a 40-man roster (presumably full by the time camp starts), and 19 current non-roster invitees, that puts them at 59. that leaves 16 spots open for players ticketed to class aaa, because class aa and class a will start their seasons later.
-
good points, but what if the pool exists only to limit the number of players who can be yo-yo'd back and forth without having to worry about outright waivers? you have your 26-man roster, with 14 reserve players on optional assignment (assuming the 40-man is full). assuming a cpp of 60, that's up to 20 non-roster players who can be summoned and sent back with no relinquishment of club control during and after a covid-19 outbreak. or, it could be any player in the organization that is yo-yo'd. we need clarity here. furthermore, unless there's some sort of player pool in place, clubs could in theory, bring up a player from the 2021 rule 4 draft, give him a taste of the bigs, and then send him back to the minors--and keep him off the 40-man for the next three to four seasons until he becomes eligible for the rule 5 draft.

the change to not require outright waivers during a covid outbreak is pretty significant. it basically allows the brewers to yo-yo any player back and forth (or possibly, only a player in the team's cpp) without having to worry about putting him on outright waivers to return him to the minor leagues. for example, with a covid outbreak, the club could bring up non-roster players such as jace peterson, jordan zimmermann and payton henry to replace players on the special covid-19 injured list. they get added to the 40-man, taking up the spots vacated by the covid-19 players. when the covid-19 players are activated, the club can just return those replacements to the minor leagues and remove them from the 40-man roster without exposing them to another team to claim.

taking a page from this thread on last season, here's what we can expect and what we still don't know regarding roster construction in 2021 . . . --rosters will be 26 players, expanding to 28 in september. --there is no limit on the number of pitchers that a club can carry. --clubs may carry a taxi squad of up to five players on road trips. if they carry five, one of them must be a catcher. --most notably, if a covid outbreak occurs, replacement players are not subject to outright waivers to remove them from the 40-man roster. --any player may appear as a pitcher. unclear thus far . . . --what defines an outbreak? in 2020, it was three or more players placed on the special covid-19 injured list. when that happened, they were treated just like a player put on the 60-day injured list--removed from the 40-man roster. --will the requisite stay for optional assignments remain 10 days for both pitchers and position players? --doubleheaders will consist of two seven-inning games. will mlb allow for a 27th man through september? --mlb established a 60-man club player pool last year. will something similar be established in 2021?
-
zimmermann appears to have two minor league options remaining, but has enough service time to refuse any optional assignment. because he finished the 2020 season on a major league roster, he is required to have an opt-out clause before opening day, or receive a retention bonus if the club wishes to keep him in the organization. the brewers have 19 non-roster invitees to spring camp.

3b zach green minor league deal; non-roster invitee
djoctagone replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
green definitely fills a void at class aaa as well. again, he can be optioned, so there's flexibility if the brewers select his contract. -

40-man roster discussion (part 2)
djoctagone replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
the kolten wong deal is official. even though he was optioned to the minor leagues in 2014 and 2016, he never spent the requisite 20 days on optional assignment, and thus, appears to never burned any of his options. wong has enough major league service time to refuse any optional assignment by the brewers. the roster is at 39 players. -
.387 / .459 / .571 in 2019 for the brewers' class aaa affiliate, but he only got one hit ever for the brewers.
-
in case you lost track, when this deal is official, the roster will be at 39 players.

brewers add 12 organization players as non-roster invitees
djoctagone replied to djoctagone's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
what's notable this time around? only one non-roster catcher invited to big league camp. given that there are six catchers already on the 40-man, this is understandable. at this time last year, the brewers had 20 non-roster invitees, but also had a full 40-man roster. last year, the brewers invited 10 organization players to big league camp. -

blaine hardy has been signed to a minor league deal and invited to big league camp. hardy appears to have one minor league option remaining, but has been outrighted to the minor leagues before. the brewers now have six non-roster invitees in camp.

they're not political views. they're social (or societal) views. but i prefer social, just as i prefer social correctness over political correctness.
