I don't think you can
prevent them from retiring. But you can:
1) Mess with Batter Aging Speed and Pitcher Aging Speed (Game Settings > Players & FaceGen, midway down on the left-hand side under Player Development Settings) to lessen the haste in which they might retire. I've never tried this, but I've heard it can work to a degree. Perhaps others will contribute more info on this...
2) Scan your league transactions at the end of each season (and/or maybe it's on Jan 1st) to see who retired, then - for any players you don't want to have retired - unretire them and place back on the intended team. Depending upon your zest for players not retiring, this not turn out to be that time-intensive of a process.

Make sure that under Game Settings > League Settings > Rules, on the top right you have Enable Trading unchecked (off). You might also try "Set All Teams to Not Allow AI Roster Changes" (Game Settings > League Settings > Functions, near the middle-bottom under Roster Functions).
As with many of these types of things, best plan is to set up a test league and try this stuff out. Don't play out games or get involved at any micro level. Rather just set it up, and let it run a few years - maybe decades - while also trying the things mentioned above.
Good luck!
