Yahoo allows a max 10 IL and 10 NA players. Three years ago Yahoo max was only 5. In the original league which this league is modeled after, there has never been a max of how many players each team can carry on IL or NA. If a team went over 5 IL in the past they simply dropped a player (still owned) and got another free agent. One team had 12 players on IL at the same time. They were able to acquire 7 extra free agents if they wanted.
If a team goes over 10 IL or 10 NA players they may drop a player (still owned) and acquire an additional free agent. This situation is close to happening. I thought I best bring this up before there are questions.
Keep in mind a huge roster with 10-15 contracted players on IL and NA combined isn’t necessarily a good thing. When these players come back healthy, drop and waiver decisions come into play. Also when we return next year, rosters will need to be set at 25 ( error). It’s 26 total players by the beginning of free agency, (the deadline). That’s lots of forced roster decisions that has to be made.
Edited by Commish next year is 26 contracted players, not 25.

Was the 26 man roster only for this season?

Baseball increased MLB rosters to 26 players last year so all three leagues adopted that rule. We all decided to keep it at 26 going forward. Next year it will be 26 again. Honestly, I’m not sure if ifs 25 or 26 or whatever this year. If it changes we would have to discuss it a year in advance of any rule changes.
After posting just realized my error. It’s corrected.

From my experience, its a pain in the rear having too many IL and NA... this seems to be a weird year full of injuries, so most teams are feeling it. I suggest a one-year contract for "fill-in" players, since you'll get half of the contract back when you drop them, and most of the time you should get them for 1/1.
