Maybe someone posted the explanation of what this is, but I then missed it.

The Exempt List is a special player status available to clubs only in unusual circumstances. The List includes those players who have been declared by the Commissioner to be temporarily exempt from counting within the Active List limit. Only the Commissioner has the authority to place a player on the Exempt List; clubs have no such authority, and no exemption, regardless of circumstances, is automatic. The Commissioner also has the authority to determine in advance whether a player's time on the Exempt List will be finite or will continue until the Commissioner deems the exemption should be lifted and the player returned to the Active List

Thanks, BIGFAN!

Unlike some people on this board you deliver answers and info when asked.

Are players/personnel still drawing a paycheck while under this status?

Left up to the team...I will assume if a player agrees to be on the list, it is because they are still getting paid.

Still, it is time to rename this rarely ever heard of list.

It sounds like baseball's Restricted List.
