How To Demand a Trade in MLB The Show 25 Road to the Show

Even in the virtual world of MLB The Show 25, sometimes a change of scenery is just what you need. San Diego Studio's baseball sim lets you pursue that greener grass, but requesting a trade in Road to the Show isn't as straightforward as it used to be. Here's how to navigate the process.

After conquering high school in MLB The Show 25's Road to the Show, you'll choose between college or going pro. Either path leads to the majors, offering a known starting point. But the reality of professional sports is change, and sometimes a fresh start is beneficial. Unlike previous iterations, directly requesting a trade isn't an option in MLB The Show 25.

However, there's a clever workaround. Within the Road to the Show settings, under the Sliders menu, you'll find "Trade Frequency." Maxing this slider to the right significantly increases the overall trade activity within the mode, boosting your chances of being involved. Keep in mind, this doesn't guarantee an immediate trade; other teams need to notice your performance before making offers.

Once you've built some buzz, your agent will alert you to potential trade interest. Offers will begin to arrive, allowing you to carefully consider your options. Remember, there's no guarantee of further offers, so choose wisely. Once you've settled on a new team, remember to lower the Trade Frequency slider to avoid constant trade requests.
