30 teams x 25 man roster = 750 players at any given time are "active". But the actual roster is 40 men, they all are not in the majors at the same time though 40 x 30 = 1200. In September the rosters expand, but few teams max it out to the full 40 men.
The simple answer is 750, but then it gets more complicated in Sept. Hope this helps!

A major league roster has 40 players, but only 25 of them are on the active roster at any given time from the start of the season through Agust 31. After that, anyone of the 40-man roster can be on the active roster. There are 30 MLB teams.

This answer isn't as simple as it seems.
Major league teams are permitted to carry 25 players on their roster for most of the season, tho obviously the faces change based upon performance & injuries.
September 1st the rules permit the teams to expand that number to 40. The primary reason is that minor league schedules end around that date (play offs begin), & it permits teams to bring prospects up for a look see without sacrificing team strength.
