Well, as you know there was no minor league baseball in 2020 due to covid. So if you're doing a historical game with minors, OOTP is going to follow that actual history, and so there really isn't anything to fix.

What you could do:

1. Make copies of the milbleagues.csv, milbteams.csv, and era_stats_minors.txt files.

2. Edit those so the 2020 minors exist in them. (The easiest way to do this would be to just copy the leagues, teams, stats, etc., from 2019 and use those for 2020; thus, all affiliations would be identical to 2019, etc..., but there could be other approaches to this.)

3. Test it out before you commit your saved league to this... I don't really know what will happen to players at the end of the 2019 season. After testing you find that you need to make some tweaks to freeze organizations' rosters & so forth...

It'd be like eliminating the strikes in '81 or '94: It's not really historical to do that, but it's possible. In this case the workaround is a bit more complicated (than removing the strikes; whereas the '81 & '94 workarounds pretty much involve only changing to where you're using the 'actual' rather than 'as played' schedules), but it's doable... Oh, and you'll most-likely need to play with 3- or 5-year recalc enabled, at least from before you hit the 2019-2020 offseason and through the end of the 2020 season...
