Only real player names will be available. The game will have Lahmann's database built-in, that's all. The recent court decision ruled that player's names and stats were public domain, but the team names and logos are still property of the respective teams and/or MLB.

You will have to edit the team names and import your own logos for your MLB setups. Of course, the community will likely provide an easy route to this end...
