Yeah 40 teams is too many for the talent, if you’re using real contemporary players. If there were a way to create a draft of the “released” players from the former teams, that would favor the weakest teams in your organization, I would do that. Otherwise the richest teams would sign the new free agents.

If you nevertheless choose to expand, set a limit of twelve protected players per team, plus players with less than three years MLB service time. That will change things at the top in a hurry, and you expansion teams won’t suck.
