The most glaring ramification will be the result in less aggressive roster moves. For instance if you have a real Dodgers pitcher, you will lose one pitcher for about 20 days during the season. The last 2 seasons most of there core starting pitchers (for the Dodgers) have gone on the 10 day DL twice during the season so their pitchers get rest. Last season several other teams started playing the same DL game, MLB Baseball will try to figure this out. I believe our league you are going to be less inclined to make a roster move when a player goes on DL or N/A. For those that say waiver wire didn’t work occasionally I would pull a gem off of the trash heap from another team. But most of the waiver players were just warm bodies, the teams that grossly misused waivers abused the good faith of the system as an expanded roster.
At the end of the overall season when a team has lost most of their starters to season ending arm injuries they still will have roster of 35-40 and people will complain about roster size.
I think the matter is now dead. So prepare for the new season, good luck may you all finish behind me 😜
I’ve been setting up my roster like this was going to happen so I understand and respect the majority. I’m just a little skeptical of the current rule when a team gets 5 players on the DL at a time or constant DL transactions - in a roto league that is going to hurt. Now you have to buy a player knowing that most likely you will be losing half that salary when you get your original player back. I think there will be lots of dead roster space this year Even MLB teams pull from their minors when they have a DL spot, they don’t ride through the year with 23 people on the roster. Most use a good portion of their 40 man roster during the course of the year. That being said, the system was abused last year and I agreeA change needed to be made
But let’s see how it goes! I’m excited for baseball!

this may have already been discussed and I missed it but I assume the new rule (or any existing rule) does not prohibit the team waiving a player from reclaiming the player during the two day window?

That's called revocable waivers - I didn't bring it up before since didn't want to complicate things with the new waiver rule. Personally I like the revocable feature.

Because they essentially gave the player's rights away when they buy them out. Also there would be teams that buyout players that have high salaries just to get them at a lower cost than what they originally won the bidding for that player with.

Exactly, just protects against a loophole that would allow a manager to buyout an expensive contract (probably at the end of the year when funds are low around the league) and then instantly try to sign them to a cheap multi year deal.
It is open to the rest of the league. If you buyout, you can't bid
ah ok that makes sense.

Red Sox (Kris): We still have a MAX 20 prospects, correct?
Feb 26, 2024 9:15:10 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Yes. 20 prospects is the MiLB max, you either need to drop a prospect or call someone up if you are over that limit.
Feb 26, 2024 11:56:08 GMT -5
Red Sox (Kris): I don’t, but I know that some do. So, to be clear, we can draft over the 20 limit as long as we cut down before the season starts?
Feb 29, 2024 23:45:26 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you should be dropping a player anytime a draft pick or trade takes you over the limit of 20. I must've missed it but Yankees needs to release one of his MiLB players, they are the only team over the limit right now

Rockies (Jose): Is Yuki Matsui rostered?
Mar 12, 2024 16:15:04 GMT -5
Ryan (Cubs): Technically you can't bid on Yuki in free agency until he pitches an inning in the MLB. You could have drafted him in the MiLB draft, but players that haven't made their debut can't be nominated in Free Agency.

Mariners (Rook): I do believe Ronel Blanco free agent final bid of $3/3 by LAD is invalid and the player should be returned to free agency. That was LAD last transaction and it put his cap -0.25. We can’t go negative cap. What say you?

Ryan (Cubs): @mariners, correct. LAD's bid on Blanco put him $.25 over the cap so the bid is invalidated. I've messaged LAD and dropped Blanco from his roster
