Edit 9:19pm: Dodgers just added 10 players to their 40-man.
We'll talk about the developments with the Indians 40-man on our show which starts in ten minutes.
________________________________
Edit 9:08pm: The Rangers and Phillies completed a trade tonight that looks like a deal for 40-man purposes. Also, the Reds 40-man has been set. That leaves four teams, the Indians, Dodgers, Mets and Giants yet to finalize or publish their 40-man by the deadline.
Boy, this is strange. Nothing may happen, but it is clear to me the Indians are talking trade. Could be a minor trade to clear roster space, could be something a little bigger. May or may not go down, but I have to believe they are in serious talks on a trade.

Most of the teams in MLB have submitted their 40-man rosters. Only a small handful have yet to post their final rosters, the Indians being one of them.
40's set: Angels, Astros, Braves, Brewers, A's, Blue Jays, Cardinals, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Mariners, Marlins, Nationals, Orioles, Padres, Phillies, Pirates, Rays, Red Sox, Rockies, Royals, Tigers, Twins, White Sox, Yankees.
Not set: Indians, Dodgers, Giants, Mets, Rangers, and Reds.
It may be nothing, but I wonder if there are some potential deals in the works here.

hey minor league guru where is the inside scoop on the 40man we pay you for? ha
Heh.....this is certainly odd. I am of the believe they are talking trade and something small or maybe even larger is on the cusp of being completed. May or may not happen, but it is clear that they are talking trade with maybe some of their Rule 5 eligible guys or current 40-man guys in a deal.
We found someone to take on Dellucci's contract?! Not only that, they took Mujica and Mastny, too and gave us cash in return!
In return the Tribe rostered nine players... Stevens, Santana, Crowe, Gimenez, Brown, Rondon, Head, Herrmann, and Lofgren.
... oh, if dreams could come true.
