40 Man Roster Question

Tumble_Home · 05-05-2010, 01:58 AM

I've just started a new solo league and was a few days into the 2010 season, when I saw something strange with the 40 man roster of my team. I noticed that every player on my secondary roster has a major league contract, even minor league players who aren't on the active roster and haven't accrued any ML service time.

I was just wondering if every player on the 40 man roster automatically receives a ML contract or is this some sort of glitch?

Yes, they all get a MLB contract, but you only pay the min-wage guys their full salary while they're in the majors. While in the minors they get some negligible percentage.
