So, since we're going by the manual:

"Spring Training is typically held beginning in early March for a period of 30 days. Spring Training is only for major league teams. During Spring Training, the active roster limit is removed, and any players on a team's secondary roster can be moved onto the active roster without recording major league service time. Before Opening Day, you must reduce the number of players on your active roster back to 25 (or whatever the active roster limit is in your league)."

So, despite not having a major league contract all through Spring Training and NOT accumulating any major league service time during Spring Training AND being back in the minor leagues prior to Opening Day, the player all of a sudden gets a major league contract?

Then why is it that at the end of a season when I send an Automatic Resign contract to the minors and it reverts to a Minor League Contract despite the player being on the 40-man roster or why doesn't a minor league player receive a major league contract when I put him on the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft?

I have read the manual many times and, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed, it is not the most accurate document ever created.

I am looking for an answer for why this particular situation is happening when by all accounts it should not be.
