Some notes on the opening day rosters:
-There are a few players that incorrectly start off on the DFA list, like Joe Musgrove, Christian Yelich and Robbie Ray. However, they do get properly added back to the rosters after you sim a day.
-The 25-man rosters should be very close to the real ones, maybe one or two of the last guys on the roster might be different from real life though. The 40-man rosters are not correct. As always, we leave the extra space here for the AI to fill over time, which helps smooth some things out.
-We're still looking into the live start. It should mostly work ok, but there are some data inaccuracies. Some players who changed teams in the off-season are starting back on their old clubs.
-We're continuing to look at general roster AI and updates. Please do continue to report anyone who has unusual roster history, and we hope to get those corrected.

We'll aim to have this as a full official release in the next few days.

We're almost through what we would call the launch patch cycle, and will be able to start getting in some other nice quality of life features, as well as some more balance around the game. Have a great start to the baseball season!
