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 face a choice: further your skills in college or dive straight into the pros with the team that drafted you. Regardless of your path, you can eventually choose the team you'll play for in the major leagues, setting the stage for your professional journey. However, the dynamics of sports can shift rapidly, and sometimes a change of scenery can be refreshing.

In previous iterations of Road to the Show, players could directly request a trade upon reaching the majors. This feature has been removed in *MLB The Show 25*, preventing you from asking for a trade outright. But don't worry, there's a clever workaround to expedite your move to a new team.

In the Sliders section of the Road to the Show settings, you'll find an option labeled "Trade Frequency." This setting controls how often trades occur in the game. By maxing out the Trade Frequency slider, you increase the likelihood of players, including yourself, being traded. However, remember that other teams must first take notice of your performance before they'll consider making an offer.

Once your reputation starts to generate buzz around the league, your agent will inform you. Eventually, trade offers will begin to come in. Take your time to assess the offers, but be strategic as there's no assurance that teams will continue to reach out. Once you've settled on a destination that excites you, accept the trade and make your move. After arriving at your new team, consider lowering the Trade Frequency slider to minimize future trade requests.
