Yes, but in the game most of those players don't amount to anything, so they might as well be the players that play for a few years and then quit (they're just more stubborn than their real life counterparts). The old standby of 5 rounds per level of minors and the related recommendation for the number of feeder teams to yield that draft pool size is designed to replace the talent level, not the number of players retiring from the majors. I'm not sure what the balance is, and I haven't done any long-term tests like you, but I haven't seen a lot of posts claiming massive talent inflation either.
