Whether you want to see a change of scenery or try out something new, the trade option allows you to switch allegiances. However, the process isn’t exactly straightforward, and you can’t just get a trade whenever you want.
This guide will ease the process by explaining what needs to be done.

How to request a trade in MLB The Show 26
The usual way to get a trade in MLB The Show 26 is to request it from communications. When you’re in the RTTS hub, you’ll find the Message Box at the top right. From there, you will be able to speak with your agent.
If you’ve spoken recently with your agent, you’ll need to wait before you can speak with him again. If there’s an option for a conversation, you can express your wish to get a move. Then, just wait for a few days, and your agent will return with new offers for a move. This method is the most consistent way of getting traded, but you can also get automatic offers.
How to get trade offers in MLB The Show 26
If you’re performing well, your in-game stats will improve. Better and consistent performances lead to a faster rate of growth. Once you’re playing well, you’ll attract the attention of other teams. Some of them will make automatic trade moves, and your agent will notify you.
While this method isn’t as consistent as requesting a move yourself, better stats help you to get better/more offers. This is especially important if you’re moving from a relatively weaker to one that’s stacked with top talent.
Additionally, you can also manually tweak the Trading Frequency slider from the in-game settings. This will increase the frequency of AI-controlled teams making trade moves, and naturally increase the chances for you to make a move. However, don’t increase it all the way since the number of trades happening on your RTTS save will feel unrealistic.
