Also taking a guy off the 40 man should not move him back to a minor league deal, at least for that season.

From the manual,

"
Contract Implications of Removing Players from the Secondary Roster

When a team signs a player to a major league deal, he is placed on the secondary roster. If he then is outrighted or otherwise demoted, his contract remains intact, and he is still paid his major league salary despite being in the minor leagues. If the player refuses the assignment, and is released, the team must pay him the remainder of the money in his contract. In real life, if a player refuses a minor league assignment, he can become a free agent and forfeit the remainder of his contract. This is not the case in OOTP."

In other words if he goes to spring training he gets paid league minimum. In OOTP 12 split contracts will allow a guy to go back to a minor league contract or at least receive less than league minimum if he does not play in the majors.
