In MLB The Show 25, even the most dedicated baseball player might yearn for a change of scenery. Fortunately, San Diego Studio's Road to the Show mode offers a path to a new team, even if it's not as straightforward as in previous versions. Here's how to effectively navigate a trade.

After completing your high school career, you'll choose between college or going pro. While initially your team is set, the dynamic nature of professional baseball means a trade is always possible. Unlike previous iterations, you can't directly request a trade. However, there's a clever workaround.

Access the Road to the Show settings and locate the "Trade Frequency" slider within the Sliders section. Maximize this setting to increase the overall trade activity within the mode. This boosts the likelihood of *you* being involved in a trade. Remember, other teams need to notice your talent before making an offer.

Once you've generated some league-wide buzz, your agent will alert you to potential trade opportunities. Carefully consider incoming offers, as there's no guarantee of further interest. Once you've found a suitable team, accept the trade. To avoid constant trade offers, adjust the "Trade Frequency" slider back down after settling into your new team.
