I suppose forgoing one historical transaction would create a butterfly effect. If LA retains Pedro Guerrero, then they don't trade for Eddie Murray. Baltimore in 1989 was coming off a monstrous season, and likely would have traded Murray to someone. I suppose now that I think about it, that my options at the point the trade is made in August 1988 are to make it, or accept the fact that history goes off the rails for my league at that point. The Piazza trade 10 years later would be an even more significant crossroads, and impact just too many teams to abort, and then pretend the league is still historical
