MLB cannot say anything about player names. The Major League Baseball Players Association can, but has not, at least as far as we know. It's not crazy to think MLB could alert the MLBPA to how OOTP uses its players' names, but that doesn't necessarily mean the MLBPA will do anything.

As for mods, this is a computer game. We'll always be able to modify the files associated with it.
