The leagues and the majority of teams are independent until the mid-60's. The challenge is that the MLB can hoard players on their reserve rosters if they have no minor league teams to send them to. Even though IRL MLB teams may not have controlled minor league teams they often loaned them players while keeping control of the players reserve clause rights. OOTP does not currently support this so it uses reserve rosters instead.
