Best Answer

The 'R' is for rookie and these teams usually have newly drafted and signed young players mixed with some second year players. Rookie leagues are meant to teach the younger players the ins and outs of the professional game. The minor leagues that are rookie leagues are the Gulf Coast League, Arizona League, Pioneer League, and Appalachian League.

What does it mean to purchase a players minor league contract?

The term 'purchase a player's minor league contract' comes from the days before the major league teams controlled the minor league teams. Minor league teams used to be independent entities that had no affliation with a major league team. They negotiated their player's contracts and paid their salaries. The players were employees of the minor league team. If a major league team wanted a player from the minors to be on their team they would have to negotiate a purchase price with the minor league team's owner. Today, even though they play in the minors, a minor leaguer is an employee of the major league team. The major league team negotiates the minor leaguer's contract and pays their salary. The minor league team owner pays team expenses. If a major league team wants a minor leaguer in their system to come up to their team, they simply tell the minor league owner that they are going to 'call up' the player. That player will be replaced by another player in the system. So the term 'purchase the contract' is not really accurate in today's game.
