That's what happened. In the 1940's in my league, I set the highest tiered salary as $80,000 and the 5 players I mentioned were all making it.

I can't help but want certain players on certain teams, so no trade clause.
Plus I needed to fix that all superstars made 80k. ...
Even with reserve clause you can select 'guaranteed contracts' so even though a C may not be a superstar, maybe he gets a 3 yr deal. What happens with No salary paid upon cut and no guaranteed contracts, is even more turnover than really happened back then.
There were extensions granted to the few back then
and like I stated, Reserve Clause rules are vanilla and do not reflect any semblence of diversity and real financials at all. Like I stated, Joe Schmoe could play for 12 years but will have 0 in his history about being signed to this team or his salary
You are free to start a league, sim 10 years and see. It was added in as an afterthought, because current baseball comes first for sales purposes, I understand that...however, this should be looked into.
