I could be wrong on this, but didn't they have to be a part of the club by 8/31? Or is a part of the 40 man roster by then? so confused

The Reds had 4 guys on the 60 day disabled list on 8/31.. that lets them swap in up to four players for the playoff roster which only had to be in the organization at 8/31.. It might be pitcher for pitcher substitution, and position player for position player. Walt was pretty smart to call up Negron and then put him on the ML 60 day DL.
