This is interesting...since it seemed like this issue had only started to occur recently (like in the past 5-10 years of a 40 year sim), I decided to change the minor league roster limit from unlimited back to 35. I had orginally changed it from 25 to 35 because of the sign-and-release issue, and when even 35 didn't help, I went ahead and put it on unlimited. It occurred to me that I hadn't seen these problems until after I made that change.

So, I put the minor league roster limit back to 35, and while several teams are still having some major issues, other teams have auto-corrected and signed some pitchers. So I think this is tied to the sign-and-release bug - the game is not finding the proper balance with FA signings. There are either too many and they keep signing and releasing the same ones over and over, or there are too few, and teams go years without updating their pitching staffs.
