I get what you're trying to do... you just want new players to appear to fill in the rosters. One thing I can think of is just to manually fill the rosters after each offseason. The "Fill Teams with Fictional Players" option. This would just add players up to the roster limit each time you run it. Seems like it would accomplish what you want. (No mention of a draft whatsoever, and new players filling in the vacated roster spots.)
There would be mention of the draft in the news logs as well, but unsure if you'd be saving those, if that "workaround" doesn't do it for you.

I am saving almanacs and news, so mention of a draft would undermine my world, yes.
If I have players already on the teams, and some guys end up retiring and I fill teams with fictional players, I guess you're saying I would not overwrite my current players, correct? That makes sense, but a problem might arise if by filling with fictional players, I get players who (a) came into the league with phony big league years of service already, and (b) who come in up to 40 years old. That would be a no-no.
I will say that in terms of how it's working now, without a draft or minor or feeder leagues, it's been working pretty good for the most part. The reserves coming in to replace the retirees are generally young (79% are 22 and younger, only 6% 30 and over) and they're coming in with zero time on their clock. so I guess it's working mostly right.
I just see these examples where some teams' rosters are all out of whack. Maybe it's not as bad as all that.
