In a historical rookies game without historical minors he's assigned to the White Sox. With historical rookies and historical minors is he a Pirate?

It depends upon whether you have historical transactions enabled. OOTP doesn't have historical txns for minor leaguers. However, for players who at some point made the major leagues, if they have organizational changes in their history, those transactions are in the historical txns database. So in the case of Bobby Bonilla:
1. He will import into the Pirates organization for 1981.
2. He will moved to the White Sox organization on 12/10/85 (due to the real life Rule 5 draft).
3. He will be moved to the Pirates organization on 7/23/86 (due to the real life trade).
4. ... and so forth...
Another example, Reggie Smith:
1. He'll import to the Twins organization for 1963.
2. He'll be moved to the Red Sox organization on 12/2/63 (due to him being purchased by Boston IRL).
3. On 10/26/73 he'll be moved to the Cardinals (due to a real life trade).
4. ... etc...

Not sure if this answers your question, but if historical txns are
not enabled, then in both the Bonilla and Smith examples, each #1 above will happen, and then what transactions subsequently occur will depend upon what the AI and/or the gamer does with trades, free agent signings, and other transactions.
