You are right here. A player can be in the majors, designated for assignment which takes him off the 40 man roster, if the player has enough service time he has the option to choose FA or choose the assignment to AAA. When going back to AAA he isn't really on a major league contract any longer unless he had signed a guaranteed deal at some point prior.
I still think the 6.5 roster management was close to perfect and Markus needs to try to model that again.
