I've posted this probably 2 or 3 times in the Suggestions forum over the last couple of years, and again in the Negro League announcement thread here in the 18 forum. Not only is it a problem in national terms (American personnel leaving for communist Cuba, then moving on to Korea, for example), but also from a color-barrier perspective. I've had Negro Leagues in my fictional-historical leagues for a few (real-life) years now, and it's always jarring to see an African-American manager start out with the Indianapolis ABCs in 1918, then get hired by the Boston Braves in 1924, and then the KC Monarchs in 1930. Similarly, it's just as immersion-breaking to see half the Negro League teams being run by white managers, all while the segregation of players is still in full effect.

We just need an "Allow Personnel to Leave League" checkbox option, as well as an "Allow Personnel from Other Leagues" option. Please.
