Odd, it looks like it's somehow combined their previous contract (or at least part of it) with the new one and is treating that as a single contract, while retaining the cap hit of the old contract. Recalculating the cap hit in the edit screen adjusts it upwards a bit, but for e.g. Byfield it's combining the 12.3/12.4 from the new contract with two 9.9 seasons from the old and comes out with 11.1 for the cap hit.
Something odd is also going on with the minor league salary numbers for those players, they're being shown as $0 when it should normally display the same number as the regular salary for a one-way contract, which would have been the case for all of these guys.
Looking through the AI teams, doesn't seem to have happened to any of them, just yours.
There's no game system that deliberately adjusts cap hits/contract values like that, so I'm not sure how this has happened. Did anything unusual happen during the contract renewal process for these players in the previous season? And do you recall if you edited contract data for any of them previously? My best guess right now would be that editing did something to their contract status, but it seems unlikely you'd have edited all the guys this has happened to.
