While I get where your coming from on this feature, I don't see the "fun factor" gain from implementing minor league financials. Are you really not going to sign a player to a minor league contract because it will cost ~$10000 for a four month season. That is peanuts compared to the millions being paid out to players on the major league roster.

Keep in mind, if salaries are added to the the minors, you need to implement attendance/ticket prices and all of the other related income/expense by minor league team. Basically full financials. That all will need to be managed either by the human GM or as I suspect, by the AI because most players will not want to deal with it and will want a way to delegate. That means the AI needs to be coded to handle it. This will take development time away from things that us humans will actually interact with.

Personally, I would like the feature, but there are many more things that probably should be coded first before this one is added.
