Uhh. wha..?

So I think I screwed something up. I was doing a historical where instead of the Seattle Pilots moving to Milwaukee, they came to Carolina. After playing the 1970 season, the game did an expansion draft with just the Milwaukee Brewers entering the league. I thought that was strange. After the draft I tried to do some trades and noticed I no longer had anyone in the minors. That's when I realized my team had been kicked out. I was just going to replace the Brewers w/myself and count the 1970 season as a loss, but then saw the Brewers weren't assigned any minor league franchises.

Any way to fix this?

I'm guessing you had historical league evolution turned on. Turn it off, then make up some story about Milwaukee moving to Charlotte in 1971...

Historical evolution doesn't do that, unless of course OP was playing with a corrupted database.

No, historical evolution absolutely does do that. It corrects league set-up to be in line with the teams.xml file for each particular year.

It's why we tell the people who want to keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn to make sure to turn automatic historical evolution off because if they don't, the game will just move the Dodgers in 1959 anyway...

I think the original poster screwed up with the historical team IDs, because IIRC it shouldn't leave the Brewers' farm system blank.
