Not sure if I am correct but I think you might be getting confused.
The player you just bought is not retired, he is a Free Agent; but it is his owner who is labelled as "retired". (This is where I think you are getting confused)
If you had not placed on bid on that free agent (whose owner is retired) then you are correct he would have retired.
So yeah, that player was not retired he was a free agent with a "retired" owner.
If you get what I mean...
Edit: Typo
