Any way to make the A's automatically relocate to Vegas in 2029?

[MacDog850]

I'm trying to do a little experimenting to see if there's a way to have the Athletics move to Vegas automatically in 2029, with the uniforms, stadium, and name changing automatically. Anyone know of a way to do this?

Probably not until they officially move, and then if you play historical, it should happen. If you want it to happen in 2029, you'll probably have to do it manually

I know you can do this for historical leagues in the past (edit teams.csv, more here), but I don't know if you can do it in the future or for fictional leagues (I suspect not).

To make this work, you would need to extend all active Teams and MiLBTeams.csv records to 2029. I'm not sure what would happen with the draft, I'm guessing it would be empty. You would have to be running a historical sim.

There are other complications like updating ballpark_eras.txt but, also not necessary.
