@ptwood thus confirming the point of that for the last 2 years, there really wasn't an option for those that came back for additional year.

There were 2 events that curtailed the decisions of many:
1 - Eliminate of 40 minor league teams
2 - Free Agent Signing Caps
Now, they were selected in rounds 6 - 10 swamp vs being able to sign on as a free agent.
Note, this is not to say they would have received more, but if a team selects you, there should be a minimum value they would need to provide towards the slot (e.g. 25% of the slot)
Note, IMHO this is a MLB and MLBPA collusion issue.

MLBPA has always been happy to negotiate away the rights of players they don't represent. MiLB players need to unionize but understandably they're too focused on progressing their playing careers to spend time on organizing activities.
