I did see plenty of this. Especially in the early days of OOTP minors (1920's & early 30's), where there are not many minor-league teams. Although it seems more of a lack of mechanism to get the players onto minor league teams. Unless you manually place players on teams (or find some other way to get them on teams?) - they retire. Apparently out of extreme boredom.
In my test, in the offseason of 1926 I decided to try to manually stock the rosters of the mostly-independent PCL. I found a lot of those players who were IRL on PCL teams were, in OOTP, already retired. So I unretired them.
