It lists all of the changes but I do not believe it includes the abbreviations that you must change in the team menus.
The early changes are
prior to 1902 MLA changed to SLA
prior to 1903 BLA changed to NYA
That will keep you going until the 1950's when the Braves move to Milwaukee.
Remember if you are importing rookies each year you must make the above changes in the team pages. Go to the team your are changing's home page and then select Options and Ballparks. You will see a line labeled "Historical Team ID". That is what you need to change from MLA to SLA prior to 1902 for the Browns to get their real rookies. Remember to hit enter after making the change so it will take.
