Am I missing a setting that makes sure major league contracts must be on the 40-man roster?
I just signed a guy to a major league deal and the game let me demote him to AAA without adding him to the 40-man roster. 40-man rosters are turned on and I'm using the patched version of OOTP2006.

Edit: And andymac, I'll check out your question. I recall its 'ruling' in OOTP, but frankly don't know for sure how the MLB treats it. |
It's a matter of timing. In the text you quoted from me I had just signed the guy to a mjor league deal. Why would any player sign a major league deal and then accept a demotion to the minors? It wouldn't happen. If he was good enough to get a major league deal on the FA market he's going to want to pitch in the majors.
Now, if he's on the major league roster and sucking and I want to DFA and then waive him other teams get a shot at claiming him. If no one wants him then I can try to assign him to AAA. If he has enough service time he should be able to reject that and become a FA.
