The Cardinals added Hence to their 40-man roster in November to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft. He’ll continue to count against the roster because he was placed on the minor league 60-day IL. The Cardinals could have recalled him and placed him on the MLB 60-day injured list to create a roster spot, but that would have begun his service clock.

It makes no sense to start the service clock with a long-term IL stint. It’s not about money in this case. It’s common sense. The 40th guy on the 40 man is not going to contribute at the big league level.

The title should be - The MLB and $$$$$$$$$$$$$
all 30 teams would do the exact same thing in this situation.
I hate it for Hence, I'm just not sure he's going to make it.
