How many days do they have to leave Garrett down? Do the days have to be consecutive or can they break them up?
cincysports24
I’m not sure the amount needed, but he can’t be recalled again for 10 days now per rule. I’m hearing that itself is enough to add an extra year of control.

It depends on the schedule but it’s typically about 12 days. He’ll be down 13.
They can break them up.
BrandonGregory74
Ok. I didn’t realize teams had to wait 10 days between call ups.
layventsky
That doesn’t apply if the recalled player is replacing someone who’s injured or placed on any other “emergency” list (i.e. bereavement, paternity, family medical emergency, etc.).

Unless a player goes to the DL; then the 10 day wait doesn’t apply.

That is incorrect.
To start a season a player only needs to remain in the minors long enough to not accrue 172 days of service time (Normally between 12-14 days, Starting in 2018 though it will need to be 16-18 days as the Major League season is going from 183 to 187 days).
However if a player is sent on optional assignment during the season he must spend at least 20 consecutive days in the minors for the time spent not to count as ML Service Time.

Garrett has to be down for 20 consecutive days for the Reds to gain the additional year of control.

That is why the reds are where they are at in contention, no where
bravesfan1993
Although this is small sample size and they are in no way going to keep it. CIN is currently in first place after today’s win.
gocincy
I don’t get your point. This is a practically minded, unsentimental decision. That’s what’s needed to win, right?
dstuart
If the Reds don’t want Garrett the Giants will gladly take him lol
dhud
Has nothing to do with not wanting him. Kind of the exact opposite, actually
dstuart
I understand that, thanks captain obvious.
