Question about rookie cards

I noticed on the Topps website that they are releasing a Topps Living Luis Robert. It has a rookie card logo on it. I thought Major League Baseball required a player to have appeared in at least one major league game for them to have a rookie card. How does Luis Robert have a rookie card when he has never appeared in a major league game?

I thought you needed to be on the 25 man roster. Robert has been added to Chicago’s when he signed that big extension.

Oh... That makes sense. I thought a player had to play in a game.

As Biff Barf used to say "I call 'em like I see 'em, if I don't see 'em, I make 'em up!"
Rookie cards still should be under the original rules. When the non-rookie cards started getting worth all the big money, things started to change.
Cal Ripken seems to me to be the first example.
