Removing players from 40-man roster

Hi,

How can I remove players from the 40 man roster without releasing them? I didn't see any info about this in the manual.

Thanks.

Waive and designate for assignement. You risk to loose them, I'm not sure if the action is irrevocable or not.

If they have MLB contract turn if off and option disable refuse Minor League Assignment.

To expand upon the answers...

If a player does not have a Major League contract, you can remove them from the 40-man without a problem. If they do have a big league deal, they'll need to pass through waivers (so other teams can claim 'em) and be designated for assignment (where they essentially go home for X number of days (X being whatever the DFA time is set for in your league). If you have the waiver and DFA rules turned off, like I usually do, they either have to accept a deal to the minors or you have to cut them, IIRC.
