Yes but it isn't easy to make it happen automatically. Well, it isn't difficult per se - more
tricky.
First and foremost you mush uncheck the Color Bar option in the RULES tab of the League options.
Now, from here I'm not 100% sure as I have always handled it manually (as I do with the Eclipse League). If you switch on historical minors then the various Negro Leagues should start appearing in 1920 and the players will (I think from memory) start appearing as either Draft-eligible rookies or FAs.
The main problem here is that the sheer volume of minor leagues make the save file size huge in a fairly short time. Still, that should get you kind of where you want to be.
