Atlanta Braves Flexibility Of A 25 and 26-man Roster World, Tuffy Gosewisch Avoids Arbitration

The deadline for the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for Major League Baseball is suppose to be tonight. I’ve seen it could be pushed back 24-hours, it could be decided tonight or all hell will break loose and we go into a lockout. If an agreement is reached, rumors have it that many items will be changing.

We’ve seen topics such as — a luxury tax established, compensatory draft picks changed where a team wouldn’t lose a pick or possible just fall a few slots, and rosters expanding.

Now rosters expanding from 25-men to 26-men doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but that would be a mistaken thought.
