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

In MLB The Show 25, even the most idyllic baseball careers can benefit from a change of scenery. San Diego Studio's Road to the Show mode offers a way to shake things up, but unlike previous iterations, directly demanding a trade isn't an option. However, there's a clever workaround to increase your chances of a trade.

After completing your high school career and choosing between college or going pro, you'll initially have control over your destination. But the dynamic nature of professional baseball means things can change. While you can't directly request a trade, you can influence your chances.

Navigate to the Road to the Show settings and locate the "Trade Frequency" slider within the Sliders section. Maximize this slider to its highest setting. This significantly increases the overall trade activity within the mode, boosting your chances of being involved in a trade.

It's important to remember that simply increasing trade frequency doesn't guarantee an immediate trade. Other teams must first take notice of your performance. Once you've generated some buzz around the league, your agent will alert you to potential trade offers. Carefully consider each offer before making a decision, as there's no guarantee of future opportunities. Once you've found a suitable team, accept the trade and then adjust the "Trade Frequency" slider back down to avoid constant trade requests.
