Cover reveal on Monday...
-
Here comes the Judge, again !
-
Who I want? Pujols. But he most likely won't be in the game at all.
I'm thinking Judge. Got a lot of press last year, is one of the more recognizable players in MLB and plays for a large market team.
Goldschmidt as NL MVP should be in the conversation but I just can't see them going with Goldy. He's not flashy enough.
Machado as runner up is a possibility but I can't see them doing another Padre so soon after the Tatis cover.
Arenado as the 3rd place finisher could also be considered. I think they would prefer him to Goldy.In the end it will be somebody that they think will sell more copies which lately has meant players from larger market teams.

Jazz Chisholm for cover
I'll be shocked if they give it to someone who only played 60 games and didn't play a game after June.

And has a career 4.9 WAR. I get it, he’s young and flashy and full of potential. But seriously at least have the criteria be a solid complete year under their belt. Julio should be the absolute bottom of the barometer.
Oh man, I wish they’d put Pujols on the Deluxe edition.

Ugh. No. That would be like putting Moonlight Graham on the cover. Yes, he is the immortal 23...in basketball...wrong BB.

I hope it's a Brave, Marlin, Nat, and Phillie, to jinx those NL East foes. LFGM!

He's already worked with SDS and is a big fan of this game. Its the easiest route for SDS to go

My guess is that the purple (Jazz/Miami) themed graphics for the reveal announcement is a ruse, and the actual cover athlete will be 2022 All-Star and Gold Glove winning, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
-
They're just throwing people off with this color scheme stuff to get people to speculate and talk on social. I can totally see a scenario where the cover athlete doesn't have any correlation with these colors whatsoever. I know everyone is high on Jazz Chisholm for all reasons mentioned, but tbh that would be such a weird choice at this stage of his young career. But then again they did put Yasiel Puig on the cover too so who knows. My money is not on Jazz tho.
-
People are getting emails that have different color scheme graphics and background shapes. If we could get all of the different graphics together and assemble them like a puzzle????
Since the game isn't exciting to think about lately, at least this is.
-
All due respect to Jazz, but he in no way deserves the cover. Hopefully it’s not him. But then again, it really doesn’t matter.
-
I wouldn't be surprised with either Julio/Judge or especially Trout if he is contractually eligible. The one name though I keep hearing and just don't understand is Jazz Chisholm.
Cool dude for sure, but if that's all it takes then Nick Swisher should've been on the cover a few times as well.

Maybe easy, but the main question is not about easy but about who they think will move copies to the public. While most of us here are buying regardless of the cover athlete there will be others who are swayed by it.
I'm not saying it can't be Jazz, just that I would be surprised. Also, I am not sure they would have tipped it by releasing that video of Jazz visiting their office earlier this year.

I don't think Jazz is the best choice, I just think it's the way they will go. I also don't think who is on the cover has even the slightest correlation with game sales either. Javy Baez wasn't even remotely close to the best cover athlete choice for MLB 20, and that game did just fine. Julio is probably the correct choice, but Jazz is equally as likely as any of Julio, Judge, Mookie, Acuna, Soto, whoever

Id counter with Verlander but the Mets dont really need extra jinx
-
Good thing I’m passing this year if it’s Jazz. He’s ok but not deserving. I’ll be back when it’s Next Gen only. I bought to many versions of this copy and paste game.

Im just throwing it out there but maybe Yordan Alvarez?
