Reserve clause doesn't allow free agency.

It is also probably having effect on overall trades. And not having minor leagues also effects overall trading. As there are less prospects to trade around. Reserve clause no free agency and no arbitration. A lot less incentive for teams to trade. Then it kind of depends on teams budget. Budget usually dictates trades. Big market vs small market etc. Because those teams can't hold onto their players. With reserve on. Those teams don't have that problem.

I would take that off during off season. Generate fictional contracts for all players and then fictional budgets for all teams. If no minors I would probably crank up reserve roster somewhat as well. There will be free agency and trades after all of that. Not as many as a default fictional or modern mlb setup. But in a couple of years it should start to grow
