As for expanding the rosters, I dont think you can expand them on the premise of needing room for MiLB guys getting promoted. I can see people wanting more spots added every year. I think part of the dynasty is figuring out what to do with them. Trade the old players for MiLB to fill those vacated spots.. 2 for 1s to clear room.. trade for draft picks etc
I was using the graduation of minor league players as just one example why I'd like to expand rosters. When we draft, we're going to have to cut players we might not want to drop. I can see people who are comfortable with their teams, who draft low in the first round, skip on the draft entirely. The second half of the first round will pretty much be like the 2nd round of the NBA draft.
The second part of what you mentioned is easier said than done. I've tried to move some of my older players to no avail. The younger teams with the promising prospects want to stay young. The older teams aren't willing to trade their promising prospects because they're old and need to worry about their future. You're likely to get 50 cents on the dollar making it not even worth moving.

I think it's a bit early for this, but it'll happen to some degree.

I don't think we need any more bench spots. That's what makes this league what it is. I'm constantly looking at the waives but rarely pick anyone up due to the low talent available. I couldn't imagine another 20-40 more guys rostered.

1. You will have an easier time moving those guys as the trade deadline nears.
2. IRL, most older players dont net a huge haul unless they are REALLY good.

It's only week 5, though. Id bet almost every team is still in that wait and see mode. Im trying to see if Zunnino is going to continue sucking, if Brett Lawrie is going to pick it up, if Ubaldo is for real etc. I'll start looking to fill holes when that time comes, as Im sure other teams will, too.

It's not that cut and dry, is it? Without knowing every roster, Id say the majority of teams have a mix of young and old.

Again, it's too soon to draw that conclusion
