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

After wrapping up your high school journey in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show, you're faced with two paths: further your skills in college or dive straight into the pros with your drafting team. Regardless of your choice, you have the power to decide which major league team you'll eventually play for, giving you a clear idea of the environment you're stepping into. But as we know, the sports world can be unpredictable, and a fresh start can be beneficial.

In earlier versions of the game, once you reached the majors, you could directly request a trade from your organization. However, *MLB The Show 25* has changed this, and you can no longer simply ask to be traded. But don't worry, there's a clever workaround to get you to a new team faster.

In the Sliders section of the *Road to the Show* settings, there's an option called "Trade Frequency," which controls how often trades happen in the game. By moving this slider all the way to the right, you increase the likelihood of players, including yourself, being traded. However, don't expect instant results; other teams need to take notice of you first before they'll consider making an offer.

Once you start generating buzz around the league, your agent will inform you, and soon enough, trade offers will begin to come in. Take your time to evaluate your options, but remember, there's no guarantee that teams will keep calling. If you find a destination that excites you, go ahead and make the move. Once you're settled in your new team's clubhouse, consider sliding the Trade Frequency back down to minimize further trade requests.
