2020 MLB Season: Team-by-Team Player Pools

Each MLB team will have a player pool of up to 60 players during the 2020 season, and many teams released their initial lists Sunday.

The 2020 MLB season will be unlike any that have come before it. Along with the shortened 60-game format comes a slew of rule changes, including the universal DH, starting each extra inning with a runner on second base and a plethora of health protocols aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus.

Another change is how teams will be allowed to construct their rosters. For this year, each club can establish a player pool of up to 60 players that can be used throughout the season. Only those players will be allowed to participate in summer training camp. Active rosters will allow up to 30 players to start the season, then down to 28 after two weeks and then to the final 26-man active roster two weeks after that. All players added to teams' 40-man or active rosters must first be added to the 60-man player pools.

Below are the player pools for each team. This post will be updated as more teams publicly release their rosters.

The Orioles’ pool features 45 players (excluding Trey Mancini, who is on the 60-day IL), with the club announcing it will be adding more players in the coming days. Catcher Adley Rutschman, the top pick in the 2019 draft, is not on the initial list.
