The database players are listed by historical team ID, which is different for multi-city franchises. I believe you could manually change the historical team IDs in the appropriate years (the years the teams would have moved), so you'd still have the Brooklyn Dodgers, but for rookie import purposes it would be marked as LAN, etc. You'd probably want to make a chart ahead of time with all the team ID changes plotted out to remind you. (Otherwise, I reckon such players would also come in as FAs, and the franchises that never moved would come to have an advantage.)
