Only problem is, they players weren't loyal. They were slaves. They weren't allowed to entertain offers from other teams. It sucked. Really. Sucked.
So, the way I handled it, is to keep free agency off until 1960, which is when you really need to start paying attention to the league structure anyway (up to that point, I just fiddled with the financials here and there). Then, when I set free agency, I set it at 10 years for a few seasons, then to 8, 7 and finally to 6, and then add arbitration soon after that. I'm in the big expansion of 1969, and I'm moving free agency to 7 years. It's not necessarily accurate to the exact timing IRL, but for my sim, it will do.
I'm finding some very interesting stats as the sim is rolling along, from 1901 - 2020 (to see how current major leaguers play out, like Albert Pujols). For instance, Babe Ruth is NOT in the HOF!!! When the sim is done, I'll post my findings....
