In response to "I don't understand it actually. What is the point? Shortening the game? The players will have been together for 3 plus hours at that point" by JackDawson

It’s also to minimize the wear and tear on pitchers.

Since you won’t have an entire AAA team in shape ready to call up after a weekend series with the Yanks/Sox where they play 35 innings over 16 hours of game time and the winning pitcher is a 36yr old position player who last saw a pitching mound in 2001 in middle school.

You can’t ship out 3 relievers to bring up replacements in this season.

Yeah, the lack of minor leaguers ready to play is another issue. But they can expand the rosters to say 30. -- nm - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:35 4
- It starts at 30 and declines to 26 by year end iirc. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:38 3
  - Why do they want it to decline? I feel like they should leave at 30 for the whole "season" -- (edited) - Krusty without grass Jun 25, 06:40 2
    - Because major leaguers get 550k a year...and minor leaguers don’t. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:43 1
