Minor leagues, et al.

[metstotop333]

Is there any way I can change the affiliations for minor league teams without transferring all the players? Unrelatedly, if I change the name of a team (say, the Phillies become the Chargers), at the end of the season the game automatically reverts the change. Is there any way I can change the name of a team (or add two expansion teams to a league) without the game reverting the changes at the end of the next season? Much appreciated.
