Only 13 pitchers wtf

SDS

How come I can only have 13 pitchers on my franchise rosters. This isn’t even an mlb rule
Impossible to have correct rosters

SDS

I thought this was an mlb rule

SDS

Not a MLB rule

SDS

League rule for 2020: https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-rule-changes-for-2020-season

So an update needs to happen it appears

SDS

26-man rosters -- Teams' active rosters are being increased from 25 to 26 players for the regular season (through Aug. 31) and during the postseason. Teams are limited to carrying a maximum of 13 pitchers.

Smaller rosters in September -- MLB is adjusting the size of September rosters to 28 players, including a max of 14 pitchers.

The above is from previous poster's link. That would seem to indicate it is an MLB rule.

SDS

That was a rule for 2020, no longer applies in 2021... some teams have five player bench, some have three in MLB.

Correct. Was in effect for 2020 only

SDS

incorrect. those rules were implemented during the offseason 19-20 and are permament rules.

SDS

"Prior to the 2020 season, a rule was enacted to limit the number of pitchers a club can carry to 13, but the rule was not put into effect last year and continues to be on hold for 2021."
