Found an unusual case. I had Trea Turner on a split contract for $4MM, and he got Rule 5'd, carried through the entire season, then returned to me during the Championship Series. I could not put him in the minors because "he had a Major League contract," and he got mad at me when I granted him his release.
It doesn't matter since he's cooked, and I would have released him anyway, but that shouldn't be default behavior.
