The game does not do contraction. If you start in 1871 you will have 8 or so teams in teh AL 8 in the NL. Expansion happens in 1883 when teams like the White Sox (AL) and a few others came in. Teams move and such throughout history. Normal expansion happens in 1961, 69, 77,93,98 (did i miss year?) Now you can do your own contraction if you unclick evolution. I did a semi accurate 1871-1900 league using fictional players on 13 but gave up because it was too tedious to change uniforms and logos. I would delete teams after the season although several folded in season. Players from deleted teams become FA, although i would usually release them and the coaches 1st.
