Since Brujan is out of options, the split contract is essentially a workaround for that lack of ostensible roster flexibility: on a more generic contract, Brujan would have had little incentive to stick around upon being outrighted to the minors; this split contract presumably sweetens his pot a bit, but he forfeits the sweetener if he does reject an outright assignment in order to seek his fortune with another club.
