40-man roster discussion (part three)

[Outlander]

They have a couple of spots open once McCutchen is back plus Topa/Cousins could easily go on the 60 day if it ever got full. Stearns used to claim guys then remove shortly later but don't see much of that anymore. Didn't really have to remove Bettinger but I guess if confident nobody will claim better to have more flexibility. Probably should do the same with Ray.

[djoctagone]

as expected today, andrew mccutchen has been reinstated from the covid-19 injured list, and returns to the 40-man roster.

the roster is at 38 players.

[djoctagone]

the brewers have outrighted dylan file to the minor leagues. being his first outright assignment, he had no choice but to accept the assignment after clearing waivers.

the roster is at 37 players.

[djoctagone]

mark mathias has his contract selected from class aaa nashville. he has two minor league options remaining, but has been outrighted to the minor leagues before.

the roster is at 38 players.

[djoctagone]

ethan small has his contract selected for the first time from class aaa nashville. he has threee minor league options.

the roster is at 39 players.

[djoctagone]

peter strzelecki has his contract selected for the first time in his career. he has three minor league options.

for the first time this season, the 40-man roster is full.

the brewers have a number of players eligible to be transferred to the 60-day injured list if a 40-man spot is needed.

[djoctagone]

luke barker has his contract selected for the first time in his career. he has three minor league options.

to make room on the 40-man, justin topa was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

the 40-man roster remains at capacity.

[djoctagone]

jason alexander has his contract selected for the first time in his career. he has three minor league options.

to make room on the 40-man, jake cousins was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

the 40-man roster remains at capacity.

[djoctagone]

omar narvaez is placed on the covid-19 injured list, and is removed from the 40-man roster.

alex hall has his contract selected from class a wisconsin. it's his first time on a major league contract, and he has three minor league options.

the 40-man roster remains at capacity.

[djoctagone]

alex hall has been designated for assignment. the brewers have seven days to try to trade, release or outright him to the minor leagues. if he clears outright waivers, he cannot refuse the minor league assignment.

the roster is at 39 players, with one player on the special covid-19 injured list.

[djoctagone]

omar narvaez is reinstated from the covid-19 injured list, and thus returns to the 40-man roster.

the 40-man roster is at capacity.

[djoctagone]

chi chi gonzalez was claimed from minnesota. he is out of minor league options and has been outrighted to the minor leagues before.

to make room on the 40-man, freddy peralta was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

the 40-man roster remains at capacity.

[markedman5]

 

[djoctagone]

with the corey ray transaction, the roster is at 39 players.

[djoctagone]

lorenzo cain has been designated for assignment. the brewers have seven days to trade, release, or try to outright cain to the minor leagues. cain has enough service time to refuse any minor league assignment.

jonathan davis has his contract selected. he is out of minor league options, and has been outrighted to the minor leagues before.

the roster is at 39 players.

[djoctagone]

interesting to note that josh hader was reinstated from the restricted list today, not from the paternity leave list.

the paternity leave list is limited to three days, so when those three days were up, the brewers quietly transferred hader to the restricted list. during that time, he was removed from the 40-man roster.

under the previous collective bargaining agreement, mlb clubs would not have been obligated to grant pay and service time during a restricted list stint.

thus, on saturday and sunday, the roster had been at 38 players. the roster is now back to 39 players.

[damuelle]

It looks like we’re still on 39 players and Pedro Severino’s activation will bring that up to 40 players today.

Somebody will have to be sent down to AAA. Or maybe today’s the day we trade Mr. Hiura.

I appreciate @djoctagone for running this thread and related posts.

[BruisedCrew]

The idea of having 3 catchers on the roster is completely contrary to the philosophy of having flexibility with position players. 
 

Given that he won’t be eligible for the postseason, trading Severino to a team that isn’t concerned about this season’s playoffs seems inevitable .

On 4/5/2022 at 10:22 AM, djoctagone said:

the brewers have placed pedro severino on the restricted list, removing him from the 40-man roster.

pedro severino has been reinstated, returning him to the 40-man roster. if he remains on the 40-man through game 162 and the brewers reach the postseason, presumably severino will be placed on the restricted list again, which would open up a 40-man spot.

if postseason eligibility rules haven't changed with the new collective bargaining agreement, the brewers may be able to petition the commissioner's office to add any player who was in the organization at 11:59 pm on 31 august to their 40-man and be postseason eligible.

the 40-man roster is at capacity.

[djoctagone]

the brewers haven't had five catchers on their 40-man in-season since . . . last season. but prior to that, you had to go all the way back to 2009 for the last time the brewers were carrying five catchers in-season.

[djoctagone]

chi chi gonzalez has been designated for assignment. the brewers have seven days to trade, release or try to outright gonzalez to the minors. if he clears outright waivers, he reserves the right to refuse the minor league assignment and declare free agency.

the roster is at 39 players.

[djoctagone]

connor sadzeck has his contract selected by the brewers. he is out of minor league options and has been outrighted to the minor leagues before.

the 40-man roster is full.

[markedman5]

 

[djoctagone]

jake mcgee signing is official. he has one minor league option remaining, but enough service time to refuse any minor league assignment. it also appears that he has never been outrighted to the minor leagues before.

the 40-man roster is at capacity.

[djoctagone]

connor sadzeck has been designated for assignment. the club has seven days to try to trade, release or try to outright sadzeck to the minor leagues. if sadzeck clears outright waivers, he reserves the right to refuse the minor league assignment and become a free agent.
