In the wake of the COVID outbreaks that have rocked the Marlins and Cardinals, MLB is making roster adjustments. Instead of remaining at 30 players as many teams had hoped, it will instead go down to 28.
MLB was supposed to have roster sizes go down to 28 players this week in the original plan to play. With the recent outbreaks, teams were expecting the league to make some concessions. While it will not be the 30 players that teams wanted, staying at 28 will be helpful.
Original plan was for rosters to reduce from 30 to 28 on Thursday and then to originally agreed upon 26 in another two weeks.
