I get that. I assume at the same time a rookie is promoted to the main list in order to free up the spot. We could only take Bauers spot because of Caddy's retirement. We didn't suddenly create a rookie spot from nothing.
List sizes for 2022 are set at 36 to 38 primary listed players, four to six Category A rookies and up to two Category B rookies, with a maximum of 44 players
The minimum list size sits at 37, which requires at least 36 senior listed players.
