I'm not following this paragraph in the article. I'm reading it to mean if the Twins add brooks Lee to the 40 man and call him up....if they later want to send him down he goes thru waivers but that doesn't make sense.
Here is the paragraph. What am I mis-reading?
First, if a player is in the minor leagues but is not on the 40-man roster, the team is not using one of his options. However, if he is called up to the major league team, and thus added to the 40-man roster, the team can only send him back down by exposing him to waivers.
