Best Diamond Dynasty Cards in MLB The Show 25 Right Now

While the cards available at the game's launch may not be the final pieces in your ultimate lineup, they are certainly valuable in the early stages. Here are some standout Diamond Dynasty cards you can get your hands on right now:

Team Affinity James Wood

James Wood, the promising outfielder for the Washington Nationals, is a Team Affinity reward that requires some effort to unlock.
