Contract
none listed

October: Post-season eligible

On the 40-man before noon ET Sep 1. He stays eligible as long as he remains on the 40-man or 60-day IL through the post-season; an outright after the cutoff would end automatic eligibility.

The post-season eligibility list is fixed at noon ET on September 1: everyone on the 40-man, the 60-day IL or the military list at that moment, who then stays there without interruption. Attachment 25 (Major League Rule 40)

What happens if the club…

option him to the minorsBLOCKED: Not without his consent: with five years of service (or, for a posted player, a contractual clause) he can refuse the assignment or elect free agency instead. The club's only unilateral moves are to keep him, trade him, or release him.; Article XIX-A: five years, no forced assignment
designate him for assignment (or put him on outright waivers): The club has 7 days to trade him, pass him through outright waivers, or release him; he is paid at the major-league rate and keeps accruing service in the meantime. On outright waivers any club can claim him for $50,000, worst record first, and the claiming club takes his contract. If he clears, he cannot be outrighted without his consent: he can refuse and force a release with his contract intact, or elect free agency (forfeiting termination pay). Post-season: an outright after the September 1 cutoff ends his automatic eligibility. He could only return as an approved injury replacement, and only if he accepts the outright and stays on a minor-league reserve list in the organization without interruption; a release makes him ineligible for anyone this October.; Designated for assignment: 7 days · Outright waivers · Article XX-D: the right to walk
release him: Release waivers cost a claiming club $1 but the claimant assumes the whole contract, so expensive players clear. The club owes the full unpaid balance of this season's salary, offset by whatever another club pays him this year. A released player is not post-season eligible for any club this year.; Release waivers and termination pay · Which rate a split contract pays at release
trade himBLOCKED: Not now: players on major-league contracts cannot be traded after the Aug 3 deadline until the day after the World Series.; Trade deadline · 10-and-5 rights · June 15 no-trade for free-agent signees
renew him for next year: Pre-arbitration: the club sets his 2027 salary near the minimum ($780,000 floor) and he has no leverage beyond a non-tender.; Minimum salaries · Tender deadline

What the rules say about him

Article XIX-A: five years, no forced assignment
Posted from NPB/KBO: posted players almost always negotiate Article XIX-A consent rights into the contract.
A player with five or more years of Major League service cannot be assigned anywhere but another Major League club without his written consent. 2022-2026 Basic Agreement, Article XIX(A)(2), p. 94
Article XX-D: the right to walk
Outrighted before (Oct 2023): a second outright lets him elect free agency, so he cannot be stashed in the minors against his will.
A player with three or more years of service (or a Super Two), or any player being outrighted for the second time in his career, may elect free agency instead of accepting the outright. 2022-2026 Basic Agreement, Article XX(D)(1)-(2), (4), p. 110
Post-season roster eligibility
On the 40-man before noon ET Sep 1. He stays eligible as long as he remains on the 40-man or 60-day IL through the post-season; an outright after the cutoff would end automatic eligibility.
The post-season eligibility list is fixed at noon ET on September 1: everyone on the 40-man, the 60-day IL or the military list at that moment, who then stays there without interruption. 2022-2026 Basic Agreement, Attachment 25, p. 253 (the number itself is in Major League Rule 40)
Rule 5 clock
On a 40-man roster (would first be exposed after 2017 otherwise).
