The 180 limit isn't in the game but I think it came in last season to limit some of the rookie league teams. Teams can't have more than 180 players in the organization but they can reserve 35 for each DSL team.

The 180 player limit applies only to stateside minor league teams. The DSL is exempt…which kind of has me scratching my head. Most organizations have cut down to one complex team due to this rule, which makes me wonder why the rule isn’t just 160 players as opposed to 180. They might as well just cap the complex league teams at 44 players and call it a day. That’s already a lot of inactive players just sitting around…with 180 players and only one complex team, you have a limit of 64 players essentially. That’s too many players and not enough open roster spots. I know you can mix and match the players around, but playing time will be an issue for a lot of prospects.
