Still weird, but that is probably a more helpful description for anyone who might be able to investigate.
The other oddity, IMO, is that he signed a "minor league contract with majors option". I'd guess that type of contract maybe played a role?

He was drafted by the Orioles on 7/11, then released by the Orioles on 7/11. He then signed with the Boise Hawks of the independent Pioneer League on 7/21, who then cut him the next day. I'm not too worried about the independent sign and release, as that has been something that has happened in OOTP for years, but I haven't seen the immediate release after the draft before.
I found another guy in this save that it has happened too that hasn't signed with anyone afterwards to make the issue a little clearer.
