Suggestion

Not sure if this has been suggested here or elsewhere. Allow leagues to purchase the contract through negotiation of independent league, unaffiliated minor league, and foreign league players. This could either be a single check option or multi-check option to include select leagues in a universe. An option to specify a number limit or frequency setting of such contract purchases could be included as well. Players with high greed and/or unhappiness would be easier to "lure away" from their current contract.

Reason

This would simulate real life interaction between MLB-independent leagues, and a way for MLB to acquire players from an unaffiliated minor league in historical universes. This could also simulate outlaw leagues not respecting contracts of other leagues or players jumping to another league, i.e., breach contract with their current team to sign with another. I suppose this could be done manually now, but having this occur via the AI would be bonus.
