We draft 25 players and a stadium in round 1. I retain the rights to all 25 players until the season 2 draft and can’t add/drop. However I can keep 24 on my active roster and add/drop the 25th as necessary (subject to the draft penalty throughout the season).
For season 2 any player continuing on I can keep (with the exception being the relievers who are out of sequence must be dropped). Or I can announce prior to the draft that I am dropping them however once the draft begins I am stuck with them for another season. Same with the stadium. I need to announce its drop before the Sp draft begins. But unlike the players I can stay in the same stadium going forward forever (just not back to an earlier one once I leave it).
Bingo! Your interpretation is spot on.
In order to stay within the salary cap, I would not be surprised if managers played with 24 active players instead of 25 -- especially in the earlier seasons, when S9* or S8* guys are more readily available. That could leave a 25th player on the bench, who could be swapped with one of the other 24, as needed.
