What could possibly be cheaper than the minor league contract the player currently has?

Unless he is a pending minor league FA you need do nothing. The player has no freedom to move.

If he is a pending minor league FA waivers get wiped out at the trade deadline so he is signable at will in Sept to another minor league contract
