Cheating a bit now, the oldest player on the 1947 Phillies was Rollie Helmsley who goes all the way back to the 1928 Pirates, so that's back to 1928 with 5 players.

Burleigh Grimes wsa on the 1928 Pirates. He started in 1916. And three guesses who was still on the Pirates in 1916, the first two are wrong. Take it home from here.

BB Ref.com has a feature called "Oracle of Baseball" which will do all the figuring of linked teammates for you. https://www.baseball-reference.com/oracle/
It provides any number of "solutions" but I couldn't get the number down to six.

There must be a way to get from Anson to Wagner with one intermediary so going Hamsley/Grimes should get there in nine as well.
We've done variations of this before and I remember coming up with a ridiculous (if you allow for war years) 66 years for three players, Spahn to Niekro to Glavine.
