Interesting discussion everyone. I think Nutlaw and Curtis hit the nail on the head. For this to even begin to work, an improved AI acknowledgement of its own finances (Am I in the red? Yes, I need to sell a contract) and the requirement/option of having to pay for minor league contracts are needed.

Trades, free agent signings are allowed between leagues, but are the specific leagues selectable? That is, the majors can purchase Dominican contracts, but not Cuban?

But in effect, aren't you guys asking for what is essentially more "make this happen now, trade for cash" transactions than what is currently happening? I'm not familiar with how the current version handles this so I could be way off. Or, isn't this similar to the game's waiver system? In essence, you're picking up a 'free agent' with contract in-season, with some restrictions, but provide the other team with no monetary compensation (fee). I'm trying to grab at a feature already there but adding a tag or two to give it some more nuance.
