Yesterday, both Major League Baseball and the MLB Players’ Association came up with an agreement for how to handle the 2020 season. After the conclusion of the deal, MLB has issued a moratorium on all roster moves. Some teams have gotten ahead of the curve on these moves, which has included releasing/adding minor league free agents and sending players to the minors on optional assignments. Until baseball can resume, teams will not be able to move players to and from their rosters. Players who are either on the 40-man roster or minor league free agents that are still a part of the Spring roster will still get paid thanks to owners paying a $170MM advance for the players.
