Traded players with major league contracts will always land in DFA after a trade. There's no way to change that. Room will have to be made for them on the 40 man roster, which is why they end up on DFA. Depending on their option year availability and whether or not they can refuse demotion, you may or may not be able to put them in the minors after you get them on the 40 man roster. Players traded who have minor league contracts will usually be placed on a rookie league team by the game when the trade is completed.
