I don't play with expansion on. I control the fate of the franchises. After the 1888 season all players on Detroit are released, and the whole coaching staff is fired, and then the team is deleted. And then Cleveland (or whoever it is) is transferred from the AA to the NL. And a new AA team is created.
I only have the database load in the NL and then have the AA teams sign their correct rookies from the free agent list, or wait till the preseason and turn off financials and sign them without cash. I've done it that way more times. Kind of depends on how realistic you want.
I wish I could say more about the schedules, but I forget if they are all ok or if I modified them to have 2 subleagues years ago.
Since I have expansion off and no AL teams in the 19th century I don't think I've encountered the reset issue. At least not in 16 or 17. I once created the Western League that became the AL as a minor league, played it through the 90's with ghost players and then moved the teams to the AL subleague in 1901.
