Get ESPN MLB Team-in-Season Profile
Source:R/espn_mlb_team_detail.R
espn_mlb_team_season_profile.RdEra-correct team identity for an MLB franchise in a specific season,
plus the available $ref URLs for deeper resources (record, statistics,
leaders, coaches, etc.). Backed by the core-v2 endpoint
sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/baseball/leagues/mlb/seasons/{season}/teams/{team_id}.
Historical depth goes back to 1947 (MLB founding). Older seasons
return fewer $ref keys; missing refs become NA.
