They announced that the full roster was submitted as required and more names would be released later.  Probably need to talk to players first.

And most of the other teams in the majors didn't have to talk to players first?  Just seems odd.

Our 44 can beat any other team's 60. Quite a statement by Elias. 

They announced other players will be added. The Orioles may be waiting to see how MLB is going to handle the "taxi squad" and the what the Fall League will look like for minor leaguers.

This is why guys like Mountcastle, Akin, Zimmerman, and Kremer are in limbo a bit. (though strangely, only Zimmerman is not on the 40-man)

Another reason is that players can be easily added to the roster, but must be put on waivers if they are taken off so there's no reason to put all 60 on there until they know how everything is going to be handled.

If a player makes the 30-man roster, they accrue major league service time like any other year, but apparently there may be something about if you hold back a player for seven games it won't count as a season, which could mean we see Mountcastle and maybe some others shortly after the rosters get down to 28 players two weeks in the season. Still not 100 percent sure on this but it's what I'm hearing.

So it appears the following 40-man roster players are not on the initial list:

Pitchers:
Keegan Akin
Dean Kremer
Evan Phillips

Infielders: 
Ryan Mountcastle
Ramon Urias

Outfielers:
Ryan McKenna
Cedric Mullins

(edited after more information was found): Not all 40-man players need to be on the 60-man list and it seems the Orioles are playing a waiting game with the "prospects" on the 40-man who were not going to make the original 25-man.

Phillips and Kremer were hurt this spring so maybe that has something to do with them.

I'm not sure why they are not on the list as I though all 40-man roster guys were supposed to be in the list. 

Phillips and Kremer were hurt this spring so maybe that has something to do with them. 
 

And McKenna and Mullins
