Maximum Expansion pre 1975 using real players only

What is the maximum expansion teams in one year you have been able to do using real players only pre 1975?

No fictional players.
No ghost players
Preferably allow only players that played in majors (i don't think there is a setting for that)
Full minor rosters (assume 4 minor affiliates per org)

I always run into problem that minors are not filled.
I wonder if I turn off Financial Model, if all free agents would be signed. That seems to be a limiting factor

It seems to me with your restrictions it would be impossible to do more than one? Or you change roster sizes down throughout all levels. One orginization needs 25mlb AAA 27, AA28 R 30. Let's say 100 players for each expansion team, without fictional players how are you going to get those additional players? Unless you use the free agents no one wants.
By fictional players I mean the extra players the AI creates to keep rosters stocked (amateur draft) I started out with a real-life league but after 13 seasons most players in my league are fictional. Ghost players do not matter, they are only used to fill spots on minor league teams, they won't show up on the roster or in any reports.
