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?
The matrix currently shows Memphis IF José Fermin on the IL, but the transaction list doesn’t show him going back on the IL after coming off 04/11, and the Memphis website shows him as active. If he’s active that makes 29 on the roster, I think.
-JoeThat all makes sense — thanks for this explanation. I agree that the numbers at Memphis are overloaded right now.
Brian, you currently have Guillermo Zuniga in the Springfield section of the Roster Matrix, but the websites for the Redbirds and Springbirds show him at Memphis. Do you really thing he’ll start the season at AA?
-JoeThe new roster matrix indicates 24 NRIs but I believe there are 25. Is one mis-identified as an invitee?
The Cardinal’s website here gives a NRI list matching Brian’s except it is missing C Tres Barrera and RHP James Naile. Any ideas why?
-JoeThe deadline to protect from the Rule 5 Draft was yesterday (11/15), and we added LHP Connor Thomas to the 40-man.
By my count, 11 of the 37 players on the roster (29.73% of the team) are arbitration-eligible this year: Cabrera, Edman, Flaherty, Helsley, Hicks, Hudson, Knizner, Montgomery, O’Neill, Reyes, andStratton. That’s got to be some kind of record!
I am not sure. I lost a player somewhere during the last matrix period. Just now, I went through my rosters one by one and validated the 235.
Brian, could it be the removal of Gavin Van Kempen, who was drafted but not signed?
Brian, the last entry of the previous matrix was “10/14: Mem RHP Aaron Brooks released. New organization total: 238 players.” The first entry of the new one is Molina and Pujols’s retirement, but then it gives an organization total of 235. Where did the other player go?
Brian, I think Memphis should currently (09/16/2022) show 31+2 rather than 30+3, with only Bosiokovic and Walsh on the IL. Correct me if I’m wrong, and thanks as always for keeping this unparalleled resource updated!
-JoeThat reminds me of a related question I keep forgetting to ask: Why do the minor league teams keep separate 7-day and 60-day ILs if neither counts against the team’s active roster limit?
Thanks, gscottar!
Brian, the matrix currently (9:30 am CT 07/14) shows Memphis as 27+3, but it looks like it should be 28+3. Probably just a discrepancy from the Rondón DFA (which disappoints me).

2 questions related to pitches on the MLB IL:
(1) Is it always 10-days for a position player and 15-days for a pitcher, or are there exceptions? I seem to remember pitchers out for only 10 days earlier in the year but I might have dreamt that.
(2) With Flaherty’s move to the 60-day IL yesterday, what is his new first day eligible to return?
-Joe
I think the Roster Matrix needs to show Palm Beach at 27+6 with Elijah Cabell off the IL, correct?
-Joe
