Players simply aren't (and shouldn't) accept multi-year deals for amounts similar to the minimum salary. It traps them. If he has a good year, he is stuck with his near minimum salary. If he has a bad year, he can likely find somewhere to play again the next year for the minimum. Signing the contract in the first post of this thread makes no sense for a ballplayer. You don't see current major leaguers signing 3 year contracts worth a total of $1 million dollars.
