Rule 5 players must have MLB contracts because they are on the 25 man roster of the team that drafted them. Any other contract would be wrong and/or a bug anyway.This must be a vXX bug because returning players and getting players returned has worked well in previous versions. A work around could be simply to put them on the 25 man roster then immediately demote them, but I can see that it could be problematic with OLL. That should not be necessary though. Bug.
