Disabled List Transactions

The Disabled List (DL) opens on opening day. Sending a player to the DL counts as being in the Majors for the purposes of calculating service time.[1]

AAA Transactions

Promote from AAA to the Majors

Players in AAA can be promoted to the Majors at any time, so long as sufficient roster space is available. Note that promoting a AAA player may add to their service time, described below.

Option to AAA

Players in the Majors who have not accumulated more than four half seasons of service time, described below, are eligible to be optioned to AAA at any time without restriction.

Designate for AAA Assignment

Players who have accumulated more than four half seasons of service time, described below, are considered veterans. Veterans cannot be demoted to AAA without first clearing 3-day waivers. This transaction is irrevocable. Once a player clears waivers, then they move to AAA. But if the player is claimed, he is lost to the claimant.

Service Time

Each time a player is promoted from to the Majors for the first time in a particular half-season, and at the start of each half season, that player will accumulate one half-season of "service time." Having more than four half-seasons of service time qualifies a player as a veteran, and they cannot be freely optioned to AAA, as described above. Players retain their service time even if they are dropped, waived, or traded.

AA Transactions

Promoting Players from AA

A GM may promote players in AA to AAA or the Majors at any time, so long as sufficient roster space is available for the promotion. Note that promoting a AA player will start the clock on their eligibility as a home-grown or super-two player (see Auctions and Keepers) and may add to their service time if promoted to the Majors, described above.

Demoting Players to AA

No player may be demoted to AA.
