Major League Baseball announced some rule changes this spring before the season for 2019 and 2020. One of the changes that will begin affecting the Cleveland Indians, as well as the rest of the league, in 2020 is the 40-man September call-ups where the number will be cut down to just 28 on the roster.
The team has some holes that I don’t think any minor league player is going to fill but the call-ups never hurt. They can help give the key guys days off down the stretch for possible postseason play while simultaneously getting a young kid valuable action at the big league level.
