One of the best features of the Road to the Show mode in MLB The Show 25 is the ability to be traded and play for a team you like.
When you get started on your journey, it’s not always possible to play for the team you want. Things are a lot more difficult at the start, and it’s all about growing your in-game skills and attributes. But you’ll have much more chances of being drafted to a team you like by following a few simple steps.
Best tips and tricks to get traded in MLB The Show 25
There are two main methods of increasing the chances of getting a trade offer in Road to the Show:
- Improving your performance to attract more interest
- Making a change in settings (not my preferred method)
Just like in real life, your performance inside the game matters. The idea is to perform brilliantly in your position, which will attract the interest of the agents. They, in turn, will bring trade offers from teams who will be interested in your services.

As your stats improve, you’ll also perform better in your position. Better performances will draw more attention from the agents, but this method is for those who can choose to be patient. Again, the first few offers you get might not be from a team you want to play for. If that’s the case, your wait is going to be longer. To avoid this problem, you can take a shortcut (although, it has always felt like cheating from a personal point of view).
- Open the Settings menu in Road to the Show
- Scroll down to Trading Frequency
- Slide it all the way right if you want to maximize the frequency of requesting trade offers
Getting more trade offers might not mean you get the chance to play for a team you want. But the odds will be in your favor, thanks to the higher number of offers you get. There have been incidents where some players have reported getting too many offers, so it’s something you should keep in mind when adjusting your settings.
Ultimately, being traded in Road to the Show is pretty easy; the variable factors are how many offers you can get, and if they are from a team you’d love to join in MLB The Show 25.
