40 Man Roster Question

dwillitts · 04-03-2020, 07:49 PM

Hi folks, I'm brand new to OOTP baseball. I love it, what a great way to pass sometime here while social distancing.

Anyway, I'm starting my new organization, the Blue Jays, and I'm in early April. I notice that there is an arrow beside one of my minor league ball players, Elvis Luciano. I move him up to the next level. It is a move from High A to AA. He is 19 years old and I'm unaware what other type of information may be needed here???

Anyway, I noticed I was at my 40 man roster limit and I see him on it, which I assume happened when I promoted him to the 40 man roster...

Why did this happen and is there a way to undo what has been done. I do not have a saved file to go back to otherwise I would do that for sure.

Help me bring the Championship back to TO!!!

Why did this happen

I'm confused

You can use the player editor to take him off the 40 man roster.

I'll try to find that...I'm new.

Why did he get sent to the 40 man roster thought? Maybe I didn't describe the situation to well. Why would a guy playing A ball, when I move to double A have to be on my 40 man???

Am I missing something?

Right-click on the player's name. Should see your options.

You'll need to be in commissioner mode

If you didn't put him on, he shouldn't be.

He was either already there or you put him there.

There is nothing to undo, he was already there. When the Jays claimed him in the Rule V draft before the 2019 season he went onto their 40-man. They kept him in the majors for 2019 to ensure they got to keep him, and had planned to shift him back to a more normal development path (i.e. starting in A-ball) this season.

Thanks for the response, here. There is a chance Luciano was part of my 40 man from the beginning of the year and I did not notice, but, then my question becomes, why would a 19 year old kid playing low A be automatically on my 40 Man roster to start???

Read my post and look up his history. The Jays used a loophole in the Rule V draft to nab a young prospect, and then did what they had to do to hold on to him.
