Minor league players and unsigned players are not eligible for acquisition in the Auction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Auction shall be held before the opening day of the baseball season, (i) all players on an American League team’s 40-man roster on Draft Day (or on a different day prior to Draft Day as the League, by general agreement, shall determine) will be eligible to be acquired in the Auction, regardless of expected major league status and (ii) any player not on an American League team’s 40-man roster on Draft Day (or relevant different day) will not be eligible for to be acquired in the Auction, regardless of expected major league status; provided, however, that any non-rookie who is under contract with any American League team will be added to the pool of players eligible to be acquired in the Auction if any USML team designates that player to be added to the pool by Roster Freeze Day.  Any player who is purchased in an Auction that takes place before the opening day of the baseball season will begin the season with Year One contract status, even if the player is not on a USML team’s Active Roster on the opening day of the baseball season.

 What about players on the 60-day DL, which means they are major leaguers but technically not on the 40-man roster?

 Eligible.  Our eligible pool is defined as players on the 40. That's all.  Doesn't matter if they've been sent down, arrested or deported.

League:  A question about player eligibility during the auction.  Anyone on an AL team’s 40-man roster is eligible to be drafted, and Mlb.com has those rosters.  What if a player is listed on the 40-man roster but with the notation “Minors” -- eligible to be auctioned or not? An example: Jackson Kowar on the Royals.
