So the Astros can choose to put Rodgers on the Minor League DL and not acquire any ML service time, but he would still keep his 40 man spot, or can the Astros could pull him up and place him on the MLB 60-day to remove his 40 man spot but he would get ML service time.
So the question is: Which is more valuable to the Astros? The service time or the roster spot? Its got to be the roster spot tbh.

Right now the Astros have 2 open spots on the 40-man, so there’s no rush. Plus guys like Toliver aren’t worth keeping around. We may see it in September if they’re pressed for a spot, but for now its a non-issue.

And all 40-man roster spots are used during the offseason, so when they said in advance of the Rule 5 draft, he’d be occupying a 40-man roster spot even if he was placed on the 60-day DL during the regular season. As far as the 40-man roster, he’d never clear waivers I don’t think, so if he wasn’t going to make it to the Big Leagues this year then they already planned on him occupying that spot

Rodgers didn’t have a 40-man spot until his major league call up last year… he wasn’t added before the 2015 Rule V draft.

that’s such a shame

If he is eligible for the rule 5 draft, if I was the braves I would pick him up, could be a great addition since colon or dickey probably won’t be back, and a lot of the prospects are still a year or two away.

He is on the 40-man, so wouldn’t be Rule 5 eligible. If he is outrighted, he could become eligible, but in that case teams would have an opportunity to claim his full rights and then option him, which would likely be more appealing.

Bad timing. Brady is too good to give up for free, but not good enough to really stay on the 40 man.
