Would love to see options that allow us to operate baseball leagues that are structured more like international football leagues, and include as many of the following as possible:
  • Promotion and relegation (and reflect real world strategies, e.g., teams with poor records do not go into rebuild mode, but try to win to avoid relegation)
  • In-season Cup tournaments with separate base of records, in-season international champions leagues, and transferable injury and suspension status between regular season and in-season tournaments
  • Transfer windows
  • Player loans
  • Reserve team leagues in place of American-style minor leagues
  • Developmental academies, including U[age] teams
This makes sense if you are doing any big-time leagues in Europe, which would almost certainly operate more like football leagues than American-style baseball leagues.
