By chance does the league have a clause about retired players? I ask because someone who owns the likes of OF J. Bautista might be able to get out of their contract with no penalty.

Here it is:
64 – a player who has officially retired, for whatever reason, either voluntarily or involuntarily, may be dropped from your active roster at any time for zero cap hit, regardless of that player’s remaining contract length and salary. If a manager drops such a player, and that player then reverses his decision to retire and carries on playing, then the manager who dropped the player is not liable for any backdated cap penalty, providing the drop was made before the player announced his intention to continue playing.
