You should be able to sign someone of the FA list....and then make a choice on who to drop when the guy is ready to come off.

I offered a suggestion to SCEA that would simply take the idea of the 15 player inactive list you have during SEASON play(the games season play) and simply adding that to your franchise. So you would have your MLB-AAA-AA levels...and another 15 slots(that don't play games, but the game could generate some fake minor league stats for them) that you(and each team) could have some extra players to fill in ...just for such occasions.
This would also allow the CPU to better handle 2 for 1 and 3 for 1 trades...as they just don't happen now because the CPU(and you) are bound to keep roster integrity(25 guys at each level)....in this way...the 15 man inactive list could serve as a place holder for players until you decide on what to do with them. This would also work for waivers(and allow the 3 day process..) where you would put the player in the 15 player slot...other teams get to "look" at him for the 3 days(you have already made the MLB move) and then he is either gone or you get to place him in AAA or AA.

Just some thoughts...

My thoughts exactly. I'd like to see them use this to allow you to have unbalanced trades(2 for 1, 3 for 1, 3 for 2, etc..etc..)
