Do you think it's feasibly possible to make the roof translucent??

I'm really not sure how that would look. Honestly, it doesn't look too great in the Rangers ball park.

In Japan, the Ham Fighters opted for a large window, which at least brings in natural light

So that's always been the bigger issue with the Skydome as opposed to some sort of translucent roof. It's the fact the all walls are way too high especially in the outfield.

We do get some hints, though, just going by the renderings

It's interesting that they show the area below the 100 level seats being occupied, as this is currently used for building operations and is off limits to the fans. It looks like it will be another gathering area, however my concern is that the views will only be of the outfield and bullpen areas.

Bolting a hotel on to the exterior of the building will do that...

The view of the hotel was gone would be of a RBC building. If you wanted some light it would have had to come from the first base line which looks out to the park or behind home plate which leads to the waterfront.

How would you get natural light to flow through the grandstands and pressbox? Even Fenway park has shadows cast by the main grandstand.
 
Yeah, there's a fair amount of space between the stadium and the nearest buildings, because of the rail corridor. I don't think there's any way they're opening the north facade butobstrcuted views and/or sunlight wouldn't be an issue, especially to the north where the sunlight is indirect, anyway. Even in an afternoon day game, you're not getting harsh light/shadows from the north.
