Since the 2000s they have had leaned to bulking by adding at least one woman a year and FIBA international contributors but still have very strong NBA contributors. It's loosened but still has no worse a record than the MLB. Not seeing the proof of MLB exceptionalism here.
The NFL has inducted over 120 players in the past 10 years into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Many are deserving yet too many players are getting in.

Please keep in mind that yes the roster sizes are larger but it has become a league of specialists with fewer every down players, especially on defense. It has been this way for nearly 30 years.
