∙ 13y agoIn Major League Baseball, teams may expand their active rosters to 40 players on Sept. 1, this includes for the playoffs as well. In the playoffs however you can only have 25 active players, the reason 40 players are on your roster is because unlike in the regular season you cannot move players to/from your minor league teams during the playoffs.

Major League baseball teams are allowed a roster of 40 players with 25 allowed to be active during the regular season until September when the active roster can be expanded up to the 40 player limit. Only nine players may be in the lineup and any one time during a game.
25 from opening day through August 31; 40 from September 1 through the end of the season (or postseason if applicable)
No. Statistics are broken out by regular season and postseason. Yardage or interceptions or such that is done in the postseason will count towards that player's career postseason stats.
MLB rules state that there can be 25 active players on a team, in September teams are allowed to expand their rosters to 40 players
AA (minor league) baseball's regular season starts in the beginning of April and ends at the end of August or the first of September. This is so players can be called up to the major league team in September when the rosters are expanded to 40 players.
Major League teams are allowed 40 man rosters throughout the season, however, they may have only 25 active players at any one time until the active roster are expanded on September 1 at which time they may increase their active roster to 40, but that must include all players on the disabled list.

During Spring Training, there is no limit for how many players a Major League Baseball team can have but during the regular season all 30 teams will only have 25 players on their roster unless the 26th man rule is in event for a double header between two games. Starting on September 1st, teams can up players from their Minor League teams so that they can have a total of 40 players on their roster. During the Postseason only 25 players are allowed on a roster.
Any players who were on the roster during the year even if they didntsee action or were on the DL receive rings.
6 players are only allowed.
On a Major League (MLB) roster, each team is allowed 25 "active" players on their rosters from the beginning of the season in March until the end of August. On September 1st, rosters are expanded to 40 players for the remainder of the regular season, typically lasting until the first week in October, at which time rosters are contracted back down to 25 players for those teams that have qualified for the postseason. So, from the beginning of the season until the last day in August teams have either 15 or 16 reserve players available to them (as American League teams utilize the designated hitter effectively producing 10 starters per game, whereas National League teams do not utilize the designated hitter), expanding to 30 or 31 reserve players (American League and National League respectively) from September 1st until the end of the regular season, contracting again to 15 (AL) or 16 (NL) for the duration of the playoffs. Although, not all "reserve" players are considered available for any given game as "starting" pitchers (of which, each team typically retains 5 for the regular season and 3 for the postseason) have "scheduled" starts and are not typically considered available for every game, atypical situations (playoff/important games, pure necessity) excluded.
