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.

Yeah, that would make a lot of sense.

Yet, when a Japanese, or other foreign league buy a fringe minor leaguer, they do negotiate the deal with the Major league team.

Well, we'd need to more clearly define the current Major League Level as the majors and either add Independent League Level or convert International or Winter League levels to serve the function. There'd need to be a stricter hierarchy, regardless.
