They might do it, but it’s a bad look.
“Hey no name minor leaguer. We would agree to your salary ask but we really need to go to arbitration to buy out Tyler Johnson.”
The reason for the arb exception is because an arbitration ruling might put you over the cap and therefore you’d need to be able to buy out someone to be in compliance. A minor league award wouldn’t change the cap so this is a silly result.
