I know I have to promote Vlad Jr but who is my other prospect that I have to promote?
Thanks,

Neil, I think you are confused on what promotion means. Guerro was ALREADY promoted by you. He is already on your 40 man roster. Do not confuse prospect promotions with the 26 man game engine roster and your full 40 man roster.
If you go to the rosters tab on the spread sheet and scan down below the 40 man rosters, you will see that you have 2 prospects drafted in 2018 that will need to be either promoted to your 40 man roster or released. Additionally, there are 3 prospects you drafted last year, you may want to promote to the 40 man roster You can promote one, some, all or none. If you chose to promote any of those three, you will need to account for each promotion when doing your cuts.
Your roster can not be at more than 30 once you make all your cuts and promotions.
In other words if you want to keep both 2018 prospects, you have to cut 12, and for every 2019 prospect you want to promote ( though you do not have to promote any, they can stay in your minors until next year), you will have an additional cut.
Of course if you want to release any of the prospects, then you do not have to make a cut for them.
Does this help??
