A lengthy glance at the 40-man roster of the Cincinnati Reds over at Reds.com shows a whopping 48 names included at the moment.
That’s merely procedural for now, however. There are currently eight players still listed on the 60-day IL, an administrative move that ‘opens up’ an additional 40-man spot due to serious injury elsewhere during the season so a team wouldn’t be stuck operating with merely 32 rostered players in such circumstance.
Once the World Series ends and the baseball offseason points towards 2025, however, the administrative wheels begin resetting for the upcoming year.
