Minor League Roster Sizes
I have always had some difficulty knowing the exact roster size for the minor league affiliates although 25 and 35 were relatively safe numbers. I contacted Jeff Lantz, Senior Director of Communications for MiLB, for exact information. I had not been aware of the years of service restrictions at the lower levels although they make perfect sense. I thought perhaps some LADT posters may be interested in the official regulations regarding MiLB roster sizes.
PCL– 25 players active
TEX– 25 players active
CAL– 25 players active (35 players under control on roster), No more than two players and one player-coach on active list may have more than six years of prior MiLB experience.
