How To Get Traded in MLB The Show 25 Road to the Show

After wrapping up your high school career in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show, you're faced with a crucial decision: further your education at college to refine your skills, or dive straight into the professional leagues with the team that drafted you. Either way, you have the power to choose your ultimate destination in the major leagues. This gives you a clear idea of the environment you’ll be stepping into. Yet, as we all know, the landscape of professional sports is ever-changing, and sometimes a new scene is exactly what you need to rejuvenate your career.

In past iterations of Road to the Show, players could directly request a trade upon reaching the major leagues.

Navigate to the Sliders section within the Road to the Show settings, where you’ll find an option called “Trade Frequency.” This setting controls how often trades occur in the game. By sliding this setting all the way to the right, you’ll increase the likelihood of players, including yourself, being traded.

Once your skills start generating buzz around the league, your agent will keep you informed. Soon enough, trade offers will begin to come in. Take your time to evaluate your options, as there’s no guarantee that teams will continue to pursue you indefinitely. Once you’ve settled on a new team that excites you, make the move.
