"And how do you know for certain that isn't largely the case in real life?"
Because I have been watching baseball on and off for 40 years and I've never seen a team do what I can do (and have done)? Pretty simple really.
I signed dozens of minor leaguers in one season last year. Couldn't even count them all. I needed to restock my farm system, the occasional one could turn out to be a gem or trade material, and why not? They're free. I'm a new player and I assumed they were in fact costing me something, but I needed the players. Then I found out they are free.
Is there any valid reason to have minor leaguers earn no pay in a baseball simulator? If so, I'd be curious what it is. I don't see any programming complexity.
Are RL minor league contracts not guaranteed? If so, that could be it, there's no need to bother in that case, as you can already restrict yourself via roster limits. If they are guaranteed, I think they should cost money.
