Alright here are my totally random guesses based on nothing other than 2 years of mostly being wrong when it comes to guessing-
AL Central-
Twins- Byron Buxton
Tigers- Miggy Cabrera
Royals- Salvador Perez
White Sox- Dylan Cease
Guardians- Emmanuel ClaseAL West
Astros- Jose Altuve
A’s- Seth Brown
Rangers- Martin Perez
Angels- Anthony Rendon (doubtful but maybe?)
Mariners- Julio RodriguezNL East
Braves- Max Fried
Phillies- Kyle Schwarber
Mets- Edwin Díaz (cause why not, he won’t get Finest this year)
Marlins- Jazz Chisholm
Nationals- Kiebert RuizNL Central-
Cardinals- Paul Goldschmidt
Brewers- Corbin Burnes
Cubs- Dansby Swanson
Reds- Joey Votto
Pirates- O’Neil CruzNL West-
Dodgers- Clayton Kershaw
Giants- Brandon Crawford
Padres- Manny Machado
Rockies- CJ Cron
D’Backs - Ketel MartePretty much agree with most of this. Only ones i'd change would be the Guardians (Ramirez im thinking) and the Phillies. I figure because Harper will be out probably til the break, this is the way to get him a decent card that we can use early on.
That is assuming they do that thing where guys on the DL fall into the FA pool.
They only do that for those on the 60day IL (which removes them from the 40man).
Harper is still on the 40 man and currently is still on the Phils active roster(26 man) he will be part of the team collect, cause even if the Phils add him to the 60 day at end of ST, he will already be in game,and expecting him back mid season they won't FA pool him. -

I am kind of over the cartoon, cheap looking cards. Just sayin'....
I know. These are just a little... Plain?

OK... I like the idea of Captains. Should be interesting.
But... I know I shouldn't care about this next complaint. I know. But the artwork? A big letdown. I really liked the FotF and Finest artwork last year.
I know... I know... I know. No "shoutout to the art department" on this one.
You are no wrong. I’m usually pretty impressed with the artwork on these cards. I wonder if the art dept went on strike and they had to whip something up rather quickly. These are lame haha
I hit better with pretty cards.

@Ericulous1_PSN said in Announced Team Captains Thread. AL East is out.:
TA!!!! Welcome back. 92s to start. This should be fun.
@the_dragon1912 - it’s TA guessing time. Who will be the captains for the other 25 teams? We already know Miggy for the Tigers.
Has it been confirmed that these all will be earnable and not just available on the market or in packs? Or is this just an assumption?
Remember, you get a Captain Choice Packs in your pre-order bonus. So unless they'll be more than one Captain per team; if they're also attainable by playing something TA based, there will be duplicates.
And if there are duplicates; it should jean that these cards are sellable. Granted what they're showing now are Set 1 based; so who knows.
Guess we'll know more Thursday.
I idea how many are earnable or even what TA will look like. But the tweet says Team Affinity. And they announced the AL East in full as they do every time TA comes around. Expect Central reveal tomorrow.

These won’t be in the pre order pack. That captain Mays they showed earlier will be (it will be legend captains in that pack)
Makes sense. And reading @SaveFarris_PSN post; seems like TA would be the option.
So get ready for the 'I accidentally picked a duplicate Captain' posts.

I’m sure you’re right about Ramirez, just wanted to add closers. Harper is probably also a sure thing.
-
I'd love to see Reynolds as the Pirates captain. Then, he can be captain of the Rangers in July.

I put O’Neil Cruz because I figured Reynolds was too obvious. But sometimes the obvious answer is the right answer. His finest was my best Batting average of any card I took to P4 or beyond last year.
-
Captain for the Mets I could see Pete Alonso.

Yeah- I was just going with most tenured. But obviously that’s not the case with some of them like Adley. But this Charisma thing just destroyed my list. And I’m stoked about it.
-
Who is Sale? That pitcher from the Red Sox that pitched in the 2010's? Se3ms weird to have him as a captain in 2023.

And to think....they've announced 2 card sets already, both Team Affinity. And we still have the WBC program and the Main Program which, im guessing they arent doing the Innings format considering the whole "seasons" thing.

Right? Plus we have the Mini Seasons revamp. I’m really intrigued to see how the programs are structured.

A little surprised with Judge given how close it could be to his Live series, but they did it with Trout last year so not totally out of left field. Good way to let more people play with him I guess since pulling his Live card won’t be easy.
In fairness, he was actually named team captain upon signing his new deal

Added NL central
