If regular season Major League Baseball games take place in 2020, among the several rumored caveats of the shortened season — in addition to potentially expanding from 10 to 14 playoff teams — would be early roster expansion.
According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, teams are expected to expand their rosters from 26 players to 29 during the first month of the season.
Twenty-six man rosters were already going to be new for Major League Baseball had the 2020 season began on time this past week. In early February, MLB increased its 25-man-roster cap by one, with a maximum of 13 pitchers allowed on the 26-man roster.
