I've considered some of the following for reducing career minor league pitchers in MLB:

Reducing teams to a total 3 with a max of 1 SP.

Reducing all teams by half with fractions retained rounded up then the next season putting in specific numerical limits.

Any number allowed but with total star ratings of maybe 6 or 6.5.

I realize anything will disrupt competition for a time but this is not a serious save. It's one where I'm trying some different things.
I tend to retire so many of those guys not counting the ones who get to bounce around all of my random international leagues that I spin up mostly to give them some meaning. But agreed that the game is pretty bad at recycling these guys, there are an unacceptable amount of 25+ guys on my AAA rosters and it takes a lot of pruning to get rid of them. Even in my massive universe where I have Mexico, India, St. Lucia, Canada, several indy leagues, Europe, Australia, Taiwan and others activated, there are still too many of these dudes clogging my AAA teams. It's been a persistent problem, and short of turning on age limits, there's no good way to stop AAA from having too many of them. I'm glad someone is talking about it, I am usually forced to just mass retire hundreds or thousands of these guys every few years to get them out of circulation.
