So while it may appear that you have 40 guys who will all be making money in the coming year, 15 of them will actually be earning a pittance.

Thanks for the response and taking the time to explain the new system. This is very cool, glad it works that way but had no idea it had changed. I looked at the online manual and it still says...

Who Goes on the Secondary Roster?
There are numerous rules about which players can or must be on the secondary roster, as follows:
* Any player on the active roster must also be on the secondary roster.
* Any player with a major league contract must be placed on the secondary roster, unless they have cleared waivers and been assigned to the minor leagues
* Any player acquired by trade or waiver claim who was on his previous team's secondary roster must also be placed on the acquiring team's secondary roster.
If, after this, you still have slots available on your secondary roster, they can be filled with players who have minor league contract. Players on the secondary roster who are not on the active roster are assigned to one of the minor league teams in the organization.

Split Contracts
In professional baseball, there exists a concept of a split contract, that dictates how much a player will make for playing in the majors, and how much he will make for playing in the minors. Split contracts do not exist in OOTP. You are either on a major league contract, or a minor league contract.

A little confusing and hopefully Battists can get the online manual updated to reflect how the version 11 is handling these contracts.
I play out all games and am in my first spring training so have yet to see how this plays out on opening day. Does the contract box on the player card reflect the "minor league" salary along with the MLB salary when said player is in the minors, IE are you shown the player is earning say $35,000 instead of $350,000? If not is this information available anywhere else?
Thanks again.
