How exactly does it work? They just cut most of the guys they gave MiLB deals to? There isn't a mandated "you can only have ___ guys in camp" thing right? Just 25 on opening day.
They have 61 in camp now, not including Crain, Jones, and Sale.
As the starting pitchers get stretched out, the need for 30 arms in big league camp goes away. So they'll send the minor leaguers that have no chance of making the team to their minor league camp facilities.
They'll probably have a good chunk to send down soon, and then a few at a time over the next few weeks until it's 25.
