Minor League Contract Questions?

Greenbay · 04-18-2015, 01:10 AM

Most of my minor leaguers have a Minor League Contract. How much are they making? Does this count against my budget. If I trade or release one of them does it affect my payroll? I assume if I call one up to the Major Leagues I would have to start paying them the Major League minimum?

Minor league contracts in OOTP are basically free, they cost you no money.

Per the manual (Link)

Minor League Contracts
There are just two types of player contracts in OOTP: major league and minor league. Minor league contracts have no set duration. A player with a minor league contract remains under the team's control until one of the following events occurs:

The player attains minor league free agency
The player is added to a team's secondary roster. When this happens, the player's contract immediately changes to a one-year major league contract for the league minimum salary.
The player is traded, retires, or is given a major league contract extension.
Note: In OOTP, minor league contracts do not cost the team any money. They are effectively $0 contracts.
