No promotion league minor leagues?

Started promotion league and see there's no minors for each team. Do they ever form as game progresses? Since this is my first time ever playing I'm cheesing my first league to have no injuries. So should I just trade the reserves that won't ever play for my team if no minors come around? And will prospects develop on a reserve roster since not playing any games?

The minors shouldn't get created automatically for a fictional league unless you add them yourself. You can definitely trade players from your reserve roster if you don't think they'll ever be valuable. Use them as you need them, injury replacement, trading for other players, or waiting until they are ready. Players on the reserve roster will develop. I believe they'll develop like if they were an average minor leaguer.

Thank you much NYY! And by the way spent couple hours reading your worst to first league last night, that's awesome concept and great reporting on it. As a Reds fan I share your hatred for St. Louis, sorry to admit I secretly cheered Everytime you lost in world series with them �� but awesome read I love it
