Angels: Three options for an expanded roster

Major League Baseball and the Players Association reached an agreement this week on how to proceed through a complex situation that has delayed the start of the 2020 season. On a laundry list of logistical issues to sort out, the two sides had to consider how a condensed schedule should impact roster sizes. As part of the agreement, MLB will allow teams to carry an extra three players, 29 in total, for at least the first month of the season, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.

Roster sizes were already set to expand an additional player from the traditional 25-man limit this season.
