I'm having trouble understanding your concern here, andymac. A player with a ML contract has always been required to be on the 40-Man roster. You can move him to the minors, but he has to remain on the 40-man there. At the risk of walking into the fire, I personally looked at this very recently and there was a problem, but the last time I saw it, you could use the right-click transaction button and DFA the player, place him on waivers, once he cleared waivers, right-click to demote him, and it was fine. I may be missing a step in there somewhere in the sequence.
I'm home now, so I'll get a chance to re-look again later tonight. But do please keep posting your exact concerns so I can get this back on the table if it needs to be. I really thought we had it licked.
