I think for simplicity sake, the major league team acquiring the player's contract would pay X amount for him, and then he would get an automatic minor league contract, and then if he were added to the 25 man roster, would get the league minimum. If this does get added, I think it could gradually be refined, like Arbitration, to more accurately reflect how the process works in real-life.

Also this way, teams wouldn't be getting a player for free (like the reserve roster), because they'd pay a lump sum amount of money for a player, and he would automatically get a minor league deal.
