The Japanese league has 26 man rosters but they mostly use it for the extra pitcher since they use 6 man rotations but since the default setup in the mlb is to account for 25 players the 26th man in the ootp mlb is seen as a bonus player. Ive tried it in my league and it works fine. The 26th man is used to fill up pretty much the best man left so sometimes I'll see an extra reliever, infielder, outfielder or even 3rd catcher.
