40-man roster
Is there any way to remove players from my 40-man roster without having to waive them and hope another team doesn't claim them? I'm coming up on spring training and want to shuffle things up, but don't want to lose any players.

Not really, but that's the point of this rule, no? I mean, if you get the benefits shown below, to the detriment of minor league players, shouldn't you give up the flexibility of manipulating them on and off the secondary roster so easily? That way, it gives them a chance, as the rule is intended.
Read more about this in the online manual.

You can be the commissioner and move them to whatever roster you want.

They're just saying he can. Not that he should.

 The origin of the 40-man roster goes all the way back to 1910. Prior to that year, there was no limit on how many players a club could have directly under contract other than how much money a club was prepared to spend. After the 1909 season some clubs had as many as 60 players under contract while others under 30. This raised the matter of competitive balance since a wealthy club might well decide to pay a player to be idle all season long rather than let a rival use him in the field. So to help even things out it was decided to set a limit of 40 players that a club could have under contract. Waivers go back all the way to 1885. They were originally designed to limit a club from selling its players to a club in a rival league—waivers gave the chance for the other clubs in the league to acquire the player before he could be sent out of the league. This extended to players being sent to minor league clubs from major league clubs, and later worked in concert with the 40-man roster limit. |
