Long ago I learned to backup. The 1884 season is so messed up I save every month.
As far as rosters go, I used to just sign everyone up on Nov 15th for the next season. With no FA everyone just sat on the reserve list. Now, I'm a bit weird, and anyone who plays prior to May 17 gets signed in the offseason. Everyone else gets signed during the season at some point. Signing days are the 1st and 15th of the month - keeps me sane and more organized. Rookies debut on date according to Baseball Reference. I only map out the starts of pitchers, I don't sorry about relief appearances. I looked and this is the first time Radbourn got 50 wins - he got 52. Short of playing out every single game, which there is no time, bench play is pretty much out of the question. That's the only downside I have left.
Again, I have played 19th century so much, it took so many times to get the amount of perfection in replay, but here I am.

I try to keep it simple.
I assign historical managers (in name only) just so ai doesn't control team during offseason. After that i release all players that don't get automatically released. I protect the rest of the players so no players get taken in the expansion draft. I have to run the expansion draft. I cant think of the reason offhand. I'm sure there was a reason but i dont remember right now.
I wait till Jan 1st to sign or basically assign all players to correct teams.
I sdave preseason so i change schedule if i need to.
End of regular season and at the end of the year.
