Here's what I'd like an answer to ASAP.

Let's say I'm playing a historical MLB league in 1976, no interest in Japanese baseball, its players or its teams. I'm importing real historical rookies. 1976 flips over to 1977, and does Randy Bass (a) import normally, no worries, (b) not import at all, or (c) import as some guy with a random name?

Similar question, but now I'm playing a present-day league. I'm in 2027 in my hypothetical sim and Jo Adell has become a solid contributor with the Angels. Meanwhile, let's say the real-life Adell signs with a Japanese baseball team. Is there any chance I get up one morning and Jo Adell in my game is scrambled into some other player?

I am trying to avoid being too hyperbolic here. I don't care about Japanese leagues personally. However, this intrusion into saved games feels pretty shocking. I am also not so sure OOTPD is on strong legal footing regarding its customers, but I don't practice that area of law so I don't want to get ahead of my skis.
