A Non-Roster invitee is a player that a team in Major League Baseball that has signed to a minor league deal but is not part of their 40-man roster and therefore does not have to be optioned down to the Minor Leagues if they will be demoted down to 1 of the Major League club's Minor League clubs. Non-roster invitees are typically players that are recovering from injuries or had a bad year the previous season and the team that signs them are typically willing to give them a chance in hopes of catching lightning in a bottle with them.

There is no team minimum salary but there is a player minimum salary, that being $400,000 in the 2010 season. With 25 players on the opening day roster, if every one of them made the minimum salary the team's payroll would be $10,000,000. In the 2010 season, the smallest opening day payroll was $34,943,000 by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
