Well, that it ought not to do. Players should not be added to the 40-man roster unless the appropriate management task has been delegated to the AI. Real MLB clubs do sometimes start spring training with empty slots on the 40-man roster.

The St. Louis Cardinals, for example, opened spring training with 38 players on the 40-man roster for the 2004-06 seasons, and opened 2009 spring training with only 35 players on the 40-man.
