In this game I cut the protected players per team to 12 (plus those with 3 years or less pro experience) and the still can't compete. However it seems while the game says pro experience it really means major league experience.
Anyway, expansion teams need better players.

Yeah, as you're trying to closely replicate history this might not be the route you want to take, but the other area I found expansion teams lacking in was budget, so to improve the parity of my main save I flatten the curve each year in the financials. As it stands the highest budget in this league is $68m and the lowest $47m. Seems to be working better in one sub-league - my version of the NL, in which two of the four playoff teams were expansion clubs - than the other.
