We're taking another shot at seeing if we should change the playoff roster rules. GMs are largely interested in changing the playoff roster rules with allowing players who weren't specifically on the team on August 31 as the main want. I'm still hesitant to allow any member of the 40 man if possible, but this might be a good compromise. Or GMs can vote to keep things as they are! Vote and decide!

The issue to me is mostly about responding to late season injuries - either by making sure starters who are injured in September can play, or an appropriate replacement can be fielded. I don’t think we really need to worry that someone is going to stash a prospect all year and then want to call them up only for the playoffs.
The edge case is a player who spends most of the year on the IL and debuts in September. The rules (including the proposed change) don’t allow that player on the playoff roster. I think that’s unfortunate. If a star player spends the year recovering from Tommy John surgery but is ready to go in October, don’t we want to see him in the playoffs?

Right now the rules are pretty flexible on adding in players as injury replacements at least, so it's easy to get the players you want on the roster as long as one of your guys need IL time in October.
