What to expect the rest of the year?

A reminder that I'm not an insider (or even a content creator. SEND ME A COACH PLUSH, SDS!!!)
Just a nerd that documents everything on a spreadsheet.
All that out of the way, here's my guesses based upon SDS's track record:
Roster Update: One more after the postseason has been completed. An easter egg usually includes them updating the player card art for the WS MVP.
Ranked:
Final 2020 rewards released 11/2
Final 2019 rewards released 10/15
Final 2018 rewards released 10/31Prediction: We get one more round (due to 21's late start)
BR:
Final 2020 reward on 10/13
Final 2019 reward on 11/15
Final 2018 reward on 8/31Prediction: I think we're done.
Inning Programs:
2019: 11 innings (11th being a wrap-up w/ no new bosses) dropped mid-December
2020: 10th dropped 10/30 w/ 1 final boss (Jr). 11th dropped early December (wrap-up)Prediction: We know 8th Inning ends 11/12. I think we get 9th w/ Pujols as the solo boss and 10th as the wrap-up on 12/10.
Postseason: Obviously, we'll get CS and WS programs similar to the Taylor & Kike programs.
Team Affinity: Time between TA1-TA2 and TA2-TA3 was 6 weeks. TA3-TA4 was 9. Nine weeks from TA4 would be 11/12, but I don't think they drop TA5 on the same day as an Inning program, so I think we get it 11/5. Would consist of Finest.
Run It Back: Pack was updated with 11 additional choices 2 months after initial release. See no reason they wouldn't do it again this year.
Events: Lots and lots.
2020's last event started 2/2/21.
2019's last event started 2/5/20.
2018 actually had an event after 2019 dropped and awarded Gaylord Perry (LOL).Extreme: Still possible, but looking doubtful.
2019 Extreme dropped 9/6
2020 Extreme dropped 9/18Pre-Order Bonus: By Pre-ordering the 2018, 2019 or 2020 versions of The Show, you got a card featuring next-years cover boy to use in 17, 18, and 19 respectively. My hunch is they did away with this for 20 because of the migration to cross-platform, but I think it returns this year.
Collections: Even if we don't get a new Mo/Mook/Clayton collection card, SDS in the past has wrapped up collection season by adding additional goals to collect (almost) everything for a card type and awarding BIAH habit bundles and the like.
... That's all I can think of now. I'm sure some of the old-timers will chime in if I've missed anything.
Wow. Good insight. Only question/concern I have is with your Inning predictions. If they do end up releasing Pujols and the only boss for the next inning and the last inning is a recap; where does that leave Babe and Griffey's 99ovr cards?

I feel like a couple of weeks from now will be another TA or Finest program. Any idea what that will probably look like? Any other programs that will probably show up outside of innings? First year on the game so just feeling it out.
I'm sure @SaveFarris_PSN has all the answers.
I'm adding the next few months will be people hitting grounders to second base and then griping because it froze the game.
We can also add in about 7-8 more (not including this) posts/references about not being able to buy Jhonathon Diaz. ([censored], I fell for it. Drink everyone)

Totally agree. Maybe Pujols DESERVES to be a solo boss, but it wouldn't get too many of us hyped.
Babe and Griffey need to come ASAP.

I'd love to be wrong, but...
You take that back! You're never wrong! Well... almost never wrong.
That said... I hope you're wrong.

Where was this schedule? It's not on my console or the app. Do I need to close the app or restart it?
Edit added: Thank you @SaveFarris_PSN for all this. I absolutely support giving you a coach plush doll.

They just released it this afternoon. It should be in your showdown list.

I think there will be another collection.
