I've seen the same thing since minor league evolution was enabled a few versions ago.

One thing I hadn't seen, and I wanted to add my file here was the players who returned after retiring show up in my "Designated for Assignment" area. But I don't remember seeing them there until today. I play this league 1 game a day. There are 6 players in total and I'm the GM of the Cardinals.

Zip File is called: Retirees-Returning-to-Teams.lg

The league is set to "Automatically Expand League"; "Import & Maintain Real Minor Leagues"; I use the development engine and do not Recalc. I do not have "Retire players according to history" or "Players miss according to history" selected.

I feel like I would have seen them sooner, but I could be wrong. The 6 players in my DFA all retired after the '29 or '30 season. All are listed with a team from my organization and in real life, played for that team.

Hopefully this file can add additional help.

Edit to Add: These players in DFA have 0 days remaining, but do not hold the league/day up from continuing. They are stuck with 0 days remaining.

Like I started, I've seen this since the introduction of minor league evolution and happens either at the start of the offseason, or when the minor league affiliations shift. It's like the game find players in the database who played in the upcoming season and if doesn't find them in the league, re-imports them to the team or organization they played for that season. If it's searching for the player ID in the league, it's skipping searching for the ID in the retired players... I think...

I've seen it with minor leaguers, and with major leaguers. In another league, Stan Musial retired after '58, but was returned in '59.

I hope this can help figure out why the retired players are returning.
