Well they have built a roster that seems ideal for that goal.

I have no delusions about their goal

Has anyone heard how moving players from the roster to the taxi squad works?

Do they go through waivers?  Does it count against they times waived? Will anyone be released if you can just store them on your taxi squad?

It is exactly the same as the minor leagues.  Think of the 30 to 34 guys not on the MLB 26-28-30 man roster as being Norfolk.

A guy on the 40 who doesn't make the team has to be optioned.  Promote a non 40 man roster guy from the 60 to the ML roster and you have to make room on the 40 man.   It's exactly the same as the minors.  A guy who goes down has to stay down for 10 days, etc.

But don't call it the taxi squad because that term is used for the 3 guys you are allowed to bring on a road trip just in case you have an injury and travel is difficult to get a replacement.  Those are 3 guys from the 60, they make the trip.  At least one must be a C.  But that's all, they aren't even announced.  If an injury does occur and one gets activates, all the above rules apply.
