I don’t think there is to be honest. You can set the reserve clause for either league but if a league has it on, all players in it will be bound and unable to jump.

Generally speaking, the further back you go from the modern era, the more tweaking and full control you’ll need to do to get things to work out like they did during that time period. The game does okay with the on field product back then but yeah it doesn’t really know how to deal with no affiliated minor leagues, much less guys jumping contracts willy nilly to join a rival league.
