In real life? They don't get it and play for their local team. In the game, you just uncheck the reserve-clause rule and the options open up.

I'd set it up for like 25 years, then if the storyline could work(note the above doesn't work), the only way a player would get FA status if they were good enough to play in the MLB would be by the storyline.

EDIT: Also to note about the storyline. Even if it would work, I didn't see a option for the tag to limit by league, just major or minor. For this to really work well, there would have to be a tag where you could specify a league id it could fire for. The only thing I could find is to limit it by player nationality, but as it's written I would think it could also fire for Cuban players playing in US leagues.

2ND EDIT: there does seem to be a flag, for "team_nation_id". I believe for this to only fire for Cuba, it would have to be set for 49.
