Minor League Transactions: Sept. 26-Oct. 3



This time: Sept. 26-Oct. 3

If you couldn't get enough of players being reinstated from the disabled list last week, then this transactions installment is for you. In terms of player movement, the Braves, Reds and Indians each re-signed a player to a minor league deal. The Royals released three players and the Cubs one. A few others officially were transferred to the Arizona Fall League.

Perhaps the most notable feature is the flood of recalls, 151 in all. These are the 40-man roster leftovers who, for one reason or another, did not receive September callups. Perhaps their play didn't warrant a promotion. Or maybe they were on the DL all month. Or it's possible the organization didn't want to pay the approximately $66,600 required to call up a minor league player for September. That works out to one-sixth the major league minimum of $400,000.

Were the players that were recalled from the minors actually put on a big league uniform? Because alot of these players recalled didnt appear in any games for their big league team.

I'd be surprised if more than a handful of the recalled appeared in a game. Just a procedural move with no impact on active rosters.

MLR 11(a) provides that the recall of a player on an Optional assignment must occur on or before October 1. Optional assignments won’t be possible until next February 16 (Closed Period, MLR 11 (e)).

You can almost consider these recalls a refresher course on which players are on 40-man rosters but did not receive September callups.
