I guess it depends on how current you want them to be. I mean, you could get the current rosters online, go into commissioner mode and force trades and DL time until they were right, but it may not make any sense with how teams are actually doing in your game.

For example, in your league Ubaldo Jimenez might be having the worst year in his career, so if, in the real world, on June 30th the Cardinals traded Pujols for him (along with a few minor leaguers both directions), would you want that trade in your game? If you were managing the Padres and in your game Eckstein were leading the league in hitting, but in real life he went on the DL with a broken leg, would you want to cripple your team just to reflect the real world rosters?

yeah i actually would, but if it had to do with my team i would probably wait till after the season.
Am i able to go to commision mode at any time though to do the trades?

One of the things I like about this game is that there are so many ways to play it.

Yes, from the manager's options screen you can enter or leave commissioner mode (it's a check box), and in commissioner mode you can force any trade you want, put players on the DL (or suspension or whatever else is appropriate), take them off the DL (etc.), edit players, et cetera.
