Haven’t seen this one in the matrix yet. Did the signing not go through?
-JoeI just double checked both our lists on baseball-reference.com, which indicates that Fernández, Herrera, Liberatore, and Walker are all arbitration eligible in 2027 and free agent 2030. Should the correct list be the nine gscottar gives minus Liberatore? If not, why the discrepancy?
-JoeAm I counting correctly that we have TWELVE players who will be arbitration-eligible this offseason: Alcalá, Burleson, Donovan, Fernández, Gorman, Herrera, King, Nootbar, Pallante, Romero, Siani, Walker?
-JoePeoria RHP Benjamin Arias shows on the end of the last matrix but not the start of the new matrix? I am not seeing a transaction entry where we lost him.
-JoeThe Matrix right now shows Palm Beach at 31+3, but I believe it should be 30+3 with Charles Harrison off the IL and Mejia on the Development List, correct?
-JoeHi Brian, two questions:
(1) You are showing the FCL in the matrix as 39+4, but should it be 40+3 with only Holiday, Moran, and Willis on the IL? Or maybe one of the newly drafted went straight to the IL and it just isn’t indicated?
(2) Any update on the two signed-but-unassigned draftees, Gurevich and Heath?
-Joe
So is the 40-man Roster now at 38, after the release of Brandon Crawford on 08/20 and the DFA of Shawn Armstrong on 08/27? The Matrix still says 39 but I don’t see anybody added. (Of course 3 are still on the 60-day IL.)
Should DSL OF Miguel Vargas (20yo from Caracas) still be on the Matrix? I’m not seeing him and my numbers don’t add up.
-JoeTwo quick questions: (1) players on the 40-man roster who are on optional assignment to the minors are still making their major-league salary for the time they are sent down, right? they don’t only earn the salary during the time they are called up to the active roster? And (2) what is the average salary for a Memphis player who is NOT on the 40-man roster?
-JoeIF Jacob Buchberger is playing on the split squad in the v Marlins game right now, but he isn’t shown in the matrix as a non-roster invitee and isn’t listed on the Cardinals site in that capacity either. Is this a one-off because of the split squad or will he remain in the start of major-league camp?
Do we know why the Cardinals website…
https://www.mlb.com/cardinals/roster/nri
…does not list RHP Max Rajcic as a NRI and does not give a uniform number for LHP Packy Naughton?
-Joe
How do the arbitration mechanics work with the Kittredge trade? I assume he was tendered by Tampa Bay. Are the Cardinals on the hook for whatever number that was, or do they swap new numbers before the arbitration season starts really soon?
-JoeBrian, have you not been able to confirm what was reported in this thread about Springfield releasing two pitchers on its 60-day IL?
-JoeThat explains it. Interestingly they have it wrong over at Baseball-Refernce:

Although Drew VerHagen was signed to a 2-year contract in March 2022, isn’t 2024 just his second year of arbitration eligibility and not his first year of free agency? He started the 2023 season with 4.066 service time.
-JoeThe note at the end of the 10/02 transaction is 232 players in the organization, but shouldn’t it be 233? Matrix shows…
St. Louis: 28+13
Memphis: 25
Springfield: 30+4
Peoria: 19+6
Palm Beach: 29+4
FCL: 33+3
DSL: 34+2
Signed, unassigned: 309/11 entry includes “RHP Leonardo Taveras from Peo (suspended list) to FCL.” Was he activated at FCL or is he on the SL there as shown in the matrix?
-JoeBrian, is the new DSL catcher “Chris López” (the way you have him in the matrix and timeline) or “Chris Pérez” (the way you have him on the DSL roster page and his player card). I think it’s the former.
-JoeInteresting. I saw that you annotated the 04/11 transaction.
Can you elaborate on this year’s rule for maximum active rosters for MiLB teams? I remember that for at least one year you could be a little heavy at one level (e.g. AAA) as long as you were correspondingly light on another (e.g. AA). Is that how Memphis can have 28 right now?
