A Yes or NO answer or each question:
1. A player is sent down to a team's Training Site (Eastlake for Cleveland for example), and has less than 130/50 - can the player go to the NA Listing?
2. A player is sent down to a team's Training Site, and has more than 130/50 - can the player go to the NA Listing?
3. A player has under 130/50 and has been activated to the MLB roster, can the player go to or continue on the NA Listing?
4. A player has greater than 130/50 and is on the MLB Club roster (a San Diego player with the San Diego fantasy team), can they go to the NA Listing?
Rule Statements:
A. 2. N/A list, for one year only, will allow players who are over the 130/50 thresholds. The N/A list will stay at a max of 15 players.
Question: Can any player go on the NA Listing either over or under the 130/50 threshold whether or not they are on an NA Status?
B. N/A has been expanded to 20 for this year only.

Yes to all. Basically, FOR THIS YEAR ONLY, Any player can go to NA list up to max of 20. Specifically to you, any non-Padre player under 130/50 can be dropped from or added to your Yahoo roster, regardless of NA status, as long as he is on your NA protected list on the spreadsheet. Any Padre player under 130/50, regardless of NA status, can be dropped or added and you retain his rights whether or not he is on the NA protected list. If a Padre player under 130/50 who is not protected gets traded to another team, that team acquires his rights.
In short, the NA protected list is there to help you hold on to prospects who are not on your franchise (in your case the Padres) roster (ex: Kiriloff) and those prospects who are on your franchise who you don't want to risk losing if they get traded away in real life (ex:Weathers).
Assuming things go back to normal next year, things get more complicated. For example, in a normal year, I would have had to decide whether or not to keep Newcomb on my active roster or release him to free agency once he was sent down by Atlanta, since he is over 50ip. Additionally, this year I had to decide whether or not to release Grant Dayton, who reached 3 years total MLB service time (as per cots contracts) even though he is below 50ip.
What I try to do is keep as many of my real-life NA players in my Yahoo NA slots. I also keep my 10-day (and this year, COVID-19) IL players in my Yahoo IL slots. 60-day IL players I usually drop to Yahoo free agency. I put any NA players who don't fit in my Yahoo NA slots and my 60-day IL players on my watch list, so I can keep a close eye on them. I find it makes it easier to move players in and out of my active roster when I need to.

Thanks Gordon. I was concerned that putting French on the NA List was a rules violation- apparently in 2020 it’s ok.
And, I agree that backing away from this rule in 2021 will be problematic for many teams. Yet, in 2020 maintaining a diversity of players - meaning players from a wide breadth of teams - is warranted given the unknowns of human behavior (Clevinger).
Thanks once again!
