For the fictional player who uses promotion/relegation (as I do), there is a workaround that is easy to implement, even though the whole system of promotion/relegation is "flawed" (teams aren't aware they are about to get relegated, a playoff works as a league playoff, etc)

However: even though this has never been a part of MLB per se, there is something else that would benefit historical players, as well as MLB players, not to mention fictional players: the ability for a player to "play" for 2 teams at once.
This not only would cover the AFL/ABL/any winter leagues, but would also pave the way to international tournaments. (BTW - how much programming would it take to add the option of holding an international tournament?)
The Baseball World Cup (since defunct) was played 38 times between 1938 and 2011, and has since been replaced by (WBC/Premier12). The Olympics would be fun to simulate. Also - didn't All-Star teams regularly travel to Japan and other world spots (first documented trip - 1888)?

Any thoughts?
