If there's a minor league there is no reserve roster.

I've recreated this. Put the limit to 2 players, 2 pitchers, 1 hitter just like the screen shot. Theoretically this should mean you can have 2 foreign players on your roster... they can both be pitchers, there can be 1 pitcher and 1 hitter, but there can NOT be 2 hitters.

What it really means, apparently, is there can be 2 pitchers and a hitter. The other limit makes no difference.
It either needs fixed or taken away. If it's not there then you set the limit by pitcher/hitter instead.

Now, changing the hitters to no limit changes everything. I changed it and simmed a season. Now all teams have 2 foreigners only. Some have 2 pitchers, some have 2 hitters, some have a pitcher and a hitter.

That's a bug, no way around the issue there, it's not following the rules right when you set numbers in each of those - but it is if you leave 1 as no limit and the other a number.



The major leagues follow the rules of foreigner limits. All but 1 team in my test has 3 foreign players, always 2 pitchers and a hitter.
The minor leagues don't follow the rules AT ALL. One AAA team has 30 guys, 25 of them are foreign players. On the AAA setup rules page it says "All other roster and financial rules from parent league apply" ... but they apparently don't.

That's another bug. If it's going to be possible for the minor leagues to follow different foreigner rules you need to have the options to set those rules (but obviously, it's supposed to follow the same rules as the big club).
