Read the second screen shot. His contract gets automatically renewed. He is tied to this current team for 6 years (if MLB contract) or 7 years (if minor league contract) unless you release him or he is picked up on waivers. He wont go by waivers because he has cleared. He is open for rule 5 but that is 7 months away and you can keep him without offering a contract by simply placing him on your 40 man roster.

I don't understand why you don't see the obvious non-issue here. The player has zero chance of being lost to you unless you re-do waivers or release him.
