JohnM:

They can add him before 8/31 if they put him on the 25-man roster and drop someone else off of it, like any normal move. However, if they simply put him on the 40-man roster now, they he can play with the major league club after 9/1, when 40-man roster play begins.

Oh, sure, NOW they change it and my last comment looks like crazy talk.

Josh Thomson looks just like that Delcos fella. They have the same email, too! I call shenanigans!

Why can’t they add him before 9/1?

But if Reyes gets hot after 9/1, then he won’t be eligible for the post season unless they come up with some sort of injury for someone else in the pen. I wish there would be a way to add him by 8/31.

If you can’t have your elite closer, adding more options is usually the best thing to do. Go with a guy if he gets hot, and switch to someone else when he starts to lose it. Of course, that doesn’t work as well in the playoffs, but what can you do?
