This was something I brought up last year and thought should be addressed again at this time.
I think the league should expand to a 90 player roster instead of 80 in order to reflect the real size of the mlb organizational depth charts.
just a thought.

I would support an even larger expansion, tbh. Maybe set separate limits for majors (40) and minors (60)?

I don't necessarily see a need for an expanded roster, but I wouldn't be against it.

So i'm going to actually come out against expanding the rosters. In taking a quick look at the official rosters (so pre draft picks), I did some quick math and found that 11 teams are either at or over the 80 player limit already. They're a combined 44 players over on the official rosters, with 85 combined draft picks in the most recent draft. If you include the post draft adds, were talking 11 teams being a total of 173 players over the allowed totals.
Even if only 10% of those are "rosterable" players to other teams (which seems low because almost all of those guys are already going to be rostered), that's 17 guys who "should" be spread out throughout the other 19 teams.
I think the roster management is important and would like to see the roster number stay the same.
EDIT: I should add that I know the official rosters aren't up to date, but my point i think remains the same. Managing roster numbers isn't any different than managing the cap and i think 40/40 is a good breakdown.
