Given this, why on Earth would he accept an outright to the minors? He could have refused the assignment and stayed on the 25-man active roster. The club's only choices at that point would have been to have either traded the player or released him. And if he's released he gets paid anyway and could try his luck in the free agent market.

He gets paid if he takes the assignment. You are right though I forgot to ask simcrazy if he has right of refusal turned on
