Hey... Why is it that players who have appeared in the majors in the last few years, but are in the minors this year, are on minor league contracts and not major league contracts?

I signed a FA last season to a ML contract, put him in the minors, and now his contract is a minor league contract. I also see a lot of players on AI teams who have appeared in the Majors with their current (and only) organization but they too have minor league contracts. Is this a glitch? Seems like cheating. (Not that I'm above sending players down for one (off) day to delay arbitration elligibilty by a whole year.)
