If you edit the MiLBTeams.csv file - for example, to change or add a ballpark name, change an affiliate designation, or even add an entire minor league - OOTP will continue to read from the csv file for your year-to-year minor league setup. So in these examples, the ballpark name change, or affiliate designation change, or the addition of an entire minor league will be reflected in OOTP. This is good. However, apparently due to editing the file, some sort of connection "breaks" to where OOTP will no longer update the League Totals on the Stats & AI panel on a year-to-year basis. Meaning, if you just finished the 1926 season and you have edited your MiLBTeams.csv file, as you move into 1927, the League Totals will remain as the 1926 totals (although Totals From Year indicator may update). And this is true for ALL of your minor leagues, even the ones where you haven't edited anything. In addition, the BABIP will be .000 for any new leagues you add (even if you have entered numbers in the appropriate csv & txt files).

So it would be great if this bug were fixed because the flexibility to be able to make minor changes - or even huge ones where you add in entire leagues - would be very nice to have, especially as we look to make historical minors better in v18.
