Yost Wants To See September Callup Rule Changed 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Sep 2, 2013 11:06 pm

Ned Yost feels the current rule on September callups needs to be changed.


"I think they should tweak it. I think there should be a limited number of players that you can use on your roster, and you can change it day to day," Yost said.


The current rule permits clubs to call up players on their 40-man roster, inflating the 25-man active rosters from Sept. 1 through the end of the regular season.


A solution would be to allow callups, but limit the roster to a specified number each day for a team.


"It's got to be more than 25," Yost said. "If it's 30 or 28 or 29 -- I don't know what the number is. It's not up to me to decide, but I think it ought to be consistent, and both teams ought to have the same number of players."
