Bourn and Stubbs in; who goes?

[Bahama O's Fan]

Who comes off of the 25 man and 40 man to fit these two OF's?

[Aristotelian]

Not sure Stubbs stays now that we got Bourne. Stubbs for Drake, Bourne for Stubbs.

[PaulFolk]

Nobody needs to come off the 25-man. Rosters expand tomorrow.

Oh, right. What about the 40?

Rickard to the 60-day might be one.

Woulldn't someone need to come off the 25-man for the new guys to be eligible for the playoffs?

Rickard will not be back.

I think you only have to be on the 40 man roster, and within the organization at any level to be a DL replacement.

I think they just need to be in the organization by Aug. 31, not necessarily on the 25-man. I'm not 100% sure, though.

I'd agree with your remembrance of how it works.

Good ol' Wikipedia says they need to be on the 25-man or replace somebody on the DL. So you could add Bourne (for example) to the 40-man and he would be eligible to replace AJ if he had to go on the DL.

To be eligible for the post-season active roster, a player must have either been on that team's expanded roster or disabled list as of midnight ET on August 31 of that year and not placed on the 60 day disabled list after August 1.[3] The one exception is for replacing players on the disabled list. Any injured player who is eligible for postseason play may be replaced by any player that was on an active or disabled list for either that team or any of its affiliated minor league teams at midnight August 31.[4]

Expanded roster means 40 man. Any player on 40 is eligible. If you are in organization you can replace a player on 60 day DL.

Jones would not have to be on DL for Bourne to be eligible.

I mssed the word "expanded" there...but don't rosters expand on Sept 1? So it makes so sense for the rule to be that they have to be on the expanded roster at midnight on Aug. 31. Confused.

Nolan Remold must go

40 man roster exists all the time. There is a 40 man roster right now.

It is very confusing. The Ondrusek and TJ DFA's the last couple of days was confusing. I think I understand the rules pretty good but who knows half the time.
