I don't have a source for this, but I'm sure the answer is yes. Non-roster players invited to spring training are either already in the team's minor league system (and thus signed to renewable contracts) or are signed to a minor league contact and invited to the spring. Presumably those minor league contracts include some provision for payment to the player.
