The point of the DL workaround isn't to force retirement, it's to force the player to accept the demotion to the minors. If you're playing with "Minor league option years" on, most veteran players will refuse to go to the minors and you'll have to keep them or release them, forcing you to eat the entire remainder of their salary.
