Well now, let me tell ya, you wanna know about tradin’ players in that there MLB The Show game, huh? It ain’t as easy as tradin’ chickens for eggs, I tell ya. But I’ll try my best to explain it to ya, even though this old woman don’t know much about these fancy video games.
First off, ya gotta be playin’ that “Road to The Show” thingy. That’s where you make your own player and try to become a big shot baseball star. Now, in that mode, you can’t just go tradin’ whenever you feel like it. It ain’t like goin’ to the market and pickin’ out whatever you want.

You see, you gotta wait for your agent to call you. He’s that fella that handles all your business, like signin’ contracts and stuff. When he calls, it’s like a little movie scene, a “cutscene” they call it. He’ll ask ya how things are goin’, and that’s your chance to tell him you wanna play for a different team. But he don’t call often, maybe just once or twice a year in the game. So ya gotta be patient, like waitin’ for the crops to grow.
Now, if you’re feelin’ impatient, there’s another way, but it ain’t pretty. You can try to make your manager mad at you. You know, be a real pain in the neck. Don’t do what he says, complain all the time, maybe even miss a practice or two. If you’re enough of a troublemaker, he might just decide he’s had enough of you and trade you away. But remember, this ain’t a good way to behave in real life, just in the game!
- Wait for your agent to call.
- Tell him you want a trade during the cutscene.
- Be a jerk to your manager to increase your chances.
They say in that there MLB The Show 22, it was a bit different. You could go into the options menu, find somethin’ called “interactions,” and there it was, a button to request a trade. Easy as pie! But seems like they changed it up in the newer games. Can’t make things too easy, can they?
And if you’re playin’ the newer MLB The Show 24, it’s kinda like the old way. Ya gotta find your agent in the menu, under player interactions. Then you tell him you wanna go somewhere else. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t always clear neither.
So, to sum it all up, tradin’ ain’t somethin’ you can do whenever you want. You gotta wait for your chance, either through your agent or by bein’ a bit of a rebel. It’s like waitin’ for the right time to plant your seeds, ya gotta be patient and know when the time is right.
And remember, this is just a game. Don’t go around bein’ a jerk to your boss in real life, or you might just find yourself lookin’ for a new job, and not on a fancy baseball team!
I hope this helped ya understand a little bit about tradin’ in that there baseball game. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go tend to my chickens. They’re a whole lot easier to manage than these baseball players!
