Is this a practice (no option years + assigned minors from spring training = waivers) in MLB too?

Yes, but the true interpretation in MLB is no option years + 40-man roster + playing in the minors = waivers. To play games in the minor leagues at the start of the season, they would have to clear irrevocable waivers first. Really, spring training has nothing to do with it. But the OOTP implementation is to transfer everyone on the 40-man roster to the active roster in the spring to force the players to clear waivers that fit that formula. IRL, you can't just leave players on the 40-man roster in the minor leagues forever (as was the practice in previous OOTP incarnations).
