Some late-season notes on players:
-Bryan Mata is active at AAA and on his final option. When this season is over, he won't be able to be optioned and will either need to be kept in the bigs after spring training or DFAed.
-Zack Kelly is rehabbing at AAA and has been in the big leagues or MLB IL all season. He could be sent to AAA for the rest of the year and it would not cost him an option year.
-Other players out of options and potentially playing for their organizational lives are Mauricio Llovera and Pablo Reyes.
-Justin Turner has now amassed the full $1MM in bonus money for plate appearances. He has 596 PAs (earned $200k each for 480, 500, 520, 540, 560PAs).
-Adam Duvall (331 PAs) has not achieved his bonuses yet, but is on pace to at least get to $500k for 350PAs here in the final weeks (can earn $500k each for 350, 400, 450, 500 PA; $1M for 550 PA).
-After the season when we have 3 FAs (Duvall, Paxton, Mondesi) and 3 options likely declined (Joely, Turner, Kluber), the 40-man roster will still be full at 40. To make room for the Rule 5 draft, they'll need to remove 3-5 players from the roster rather quickly.
