I checked that offseason, and for some reason these players still have "minor league contracts". Isn't the rule, once you get called up, you sign a major league contract, and even if you get called back down, you still make that major league contract?

I don't know if this is a bug or I'm just unclear about the rules.

Could somebody clarify?
In OOTP, player contracts revert to minor league status if they are in the minors during the off-season (I forget which day it flips back). In terms of the game, the major league contract only lasts through that season.
