Do you have to pay all the players?

What is the benefit of not having the teams?

You just have to be under the roster limit for each team. Not sure what Kris's plans are but he can shuffle around the minor league players so he gets under the limit for the other affiliates and future draft picks.

Ahh, ok. Just curious as to the benefits of doing that.

What is the plan as of getting under the limits? As in like target date to get rosters finalized by?

Some time in March. Exact date TBD.
