AA Roster Rule Update

[Mass Haas]

Well, this will only affect one roster spot, and at Huntsville only, but here goes:

 

Major League Baseball recently passed a new rule making the roster limits at the Double-A level 24 players throughout the entire season instead of the old rules where the roster limits shifted from 24 players to 23 players and then back to 24 players.

 

Under the previous roster rules, Double-A teams began the season with 24 players and dropped to 23 players after 30 days. Rosters would again expand to 24 players for the final 30 days off the regular season.

 

We believe those old rules are still in place for AAA.

Didn't AAA go with the 24 man roster for the whole season a couple years ago?

I gotta say it seems pretty silly to shift the roster size up and down in the middle of the season.

Really. What the heck is the purpose of that?
