I dont think it would be that difficult do the Majors. You may have to move
teams when there are 3 leagues but we know the actual historical teams can be imported and the rookies imported to correct teams. Its just a matter
of having the computer releasing and signing players. It just needs a historical list that matches up with the schedule. Just grabbing data from baseball reference or retrosheet doesnt work by itself. If there is no trade date you need to make sure that team still has players before it folds.
No need to get fancy just sign and release players to start. If a team folds put all the players in the free agency pool.

In the league i've ran from 1871-1908 there is not much that could not be done automatically.
The only thing i did was sign and release players from a spreadsheet i have of transactions. The historical teams and players were imported by computer. Even having one league isnt a problem as you can have no playoffs or a playoff between 1st and 2nd teams.
If you are having a fantasy draft league then that would be up to you to make sure rosters had enough players.
