Players missing in MLB 22 roster

[ninertravel]

Thought I would start a list here of players that will be missing from MLB 22 at least before the opening day starts Mainly major leaguers that come to mind that are projected for 25 man roster, comment if you can think of others and I will keep updating the OP, going to take videos of these guys ready to transfer into 22. and sim some stats to kill rookie status. (yes I am aware there will be a update in mid to late April from SDS) but this is for those that can't wait so we can add them to the vault tomorrow.

Off the top of my head. Obviously, not all these guys are on 26 man or 40 man rosters.

How are you sure all of these guys won’t be in the roster?

Few reasons.

1. Some of these guys played overseas last year, thus aren't part of the MLBPA until they get an at bat or pitch in a game.

2. Some of these guys weren't on 40 man rosters last year and never got called up and lost their MLBPA status.

3. There are 50/50 guys meaning they were on 40 man rosters but spent the entire year on the Major League IL and gained a year of service time. Those types are 50/50 weather they will be in the game or not.

4. Some of these guys played in the minors, but got hurt and were never called up or on the MLB IL and lost their MLBPA status.

5. MLBPA paperwork isn't filled out. That is on the player and his agent to complete and submit it.

It's like this every year. So, unless something has changed with the new CBA a lot of these guys won't be in the game at launch.


2020 season was the only exception where certain players that didn't play were in 21. The exception was Covid obviously.

If you’re going off guys who played overseas as mentioned you can add RP Robert Suarez to SD. If Martinez isn’t in then Suarez won’t be.
