The days leading up to the start of the MLB season are marked by significant roster shuffling as teams finalize their lineups. Many clubs will promote standout minor league players who have impressed during spring training. Additionally, players who are out of options may not make the initial roster and will be available for other teams. The designated for assignment (DFA) process allows teams up to five days to explore trade possibilities before players must be placed on waivers. As this period unfolds, roster changes are expected to continue rapidly, especially for those in DFA limbo.
The few days leading up to the start of the season bring a lot of roster shuffling, promoting minor league signees who impressed in camp.
Players who are designated for assignment will know their fate within a week, as teams have up to five days to explore trade scenarios.
If teams do not line up a deal within five days, they must place the player on waivers, which takes 48 hours to resolve.
The movement will continue over the next few days with players currently in DFA limbo being a significant part of roster shuffle.
