Spring Training Invites

Re: Spring Training Invites

Correct, but doing so uses an option year. This is the way it is in real life.

Basically it boils down to this. ALL players on the 40 man roster are considered on the ACTIVE MLB roster in Spring Training. Rosters must be trimmed to 25 players between the start of Spring Training, and the beginning of the regular season. Any player sent to the minors during this time, must either be OPTIONED (using an option year. Now this player can be called back up, and sent down as many times during that season, and still use just ONE option year) or, if the player is out of option years, he must pass through waivers to be put in the minors.

As I stated earlier, The Show gets this EXACTLY CORRECT, because it is this way in the real life MLB.

i understand and forgot to clarify when i responded. the game does get this right. the op was asking about something that isnt in the game and someone else asked something somewhat related but different.

spring training invitees are not in game. 40 man roster spots use options and not everyone on your 40 man has to be on a spring training roster (but will still use an option)

Re: Spring Training Invites

I put waivers on manual for cpu teams in 30 team control. This allows you to use options and guys will always pass thru waivers cuz you won't sign any for the cpu. I have to do this cuz I change my mind on who to send down etc....it fixes your problem though of losing anyone
