I still am not understanding what the evidence is for this.

In any case, don't forget about the leagues. You start with the NA, then that folds. The NL is then created. The AA comes along in 1882 but then folds after 1891 leaving only one league again. Then the AL comes along in 1901 and it's back to two leagues.

Historical leagues are set up as subleagues and those cannot be added and removed from a league, at least in regards to the automatic way historical leagues work.

(The odd number of teams shouldn't be an issue at all, using either the as played schedules or the original schedules. For the latter, the team that drops out has its schedule taken over by the team replacing it, which is exactly what happened in real life.)
