When a player is designated for assignment, he is immediately removed from the club's 40-man roster. This gives the club 10 days to decide what to do with the player while freeing up a roster spot for another transaction, if needed. After designating a player for assignment, the club must release or trade the player.

It means that the player designated for assignment must either be traded, claimed from waivers, or sent to the minors within 10 days.

if your designated for assignment, it means the team basically doesn't want you anymore. the designate you for assignment and any other team can sign you, or there can be a trade. your free to any team. hope this helps!! oh and also this can happen after the trade deadline. i think. ☻☺♥

"Go away."
The player stops playing, but the team has ten days to trade him (so he and his agent can try to arrange one, if they want), after which he is either released or accepts a minor league assignment. It's a kinder, gentler option than an outright release.

specified for project ability that the gang has bumped off the participant from the 40-guy roster. The team then has 10 days to commerce him, launch him, or convince him to stay with the gang interior the minors (without threat for a decision-up). maximum gamers won't settle for a minor-league spot, so as that they many times finally end up shifting on.

You are being assigned to a minor league team.

It means you suck and we put you on waivers. If no other team picks you up then you get your release papers and you become a free agent.
