Like, I understand the Yankees, Cards, Dodgers etc. Have a long history so they are going to get a bunch of cards. My problem is that the Jays, Brewers, Rangers and others have 40, 50, 60 years of history to go with yet they act like all are recent expansion teams.
Would it kill them to go get the rights to some of the 85 to 90 Jays I grew up with? It's not like there were no great players on that team.

The focus is 90’s and early 2000’s this year.
Well, from 95 to 2015, they were pretty terrible, boring or not sexy. There was Doc on bad teams, and a bunch of above average guys with decent seasons like Cruz Jr, Wells, Romero. Before Bautista exploded, Jays games were a snooze fest.

Vlad getting 2 hits on the same play: now that's something that'd make his dad proud.

That Topps now Bo is literally just as good as the 99 Ernie Banks card. And it’s free while Ernie costs 100k

Yeah, makes him extremely usable now

I understand the frustration, but what do you want them to do? You've already got Donaldson, Encarnacion, and Carter in the game. Tony Fernandez with his career .288 Average? George Bell with his .278 career average? Vernon Wells?
This is a game that focuses on the history of a team, SDS can't help give you what you've never had (good players).

Lol, implying those guys weren't good players. Yup, George Bell is certainly no Rick Ankiel.
Those are exactly the types of cards I want. But at least we get 15 Smoltz cards.

They're fine players, but they aren't in the HOF. So, as it goes, SDS needs to negotiate individually with them for their rights. Certainly doable, but not as easy as it is with players with higher accolades.

You mean the Buffalo Baby Jays?

The Jays have never had good players?
I am not a Jays fan but this statement is laughable.Jays without cards:
Dave Stieb
Roy Halladay
Jimmy Key
MVP George Bell
Fred McGriff
Devon White
Jessie Barfield
Pat Hentgen
Juan Guzman
Carlos Delgado
and even though I can't stand him Joey Bats.The Jays are a team with a deep and proud history. Maybe do a little research before spewing non-sense.
