Season 5 Team Affinity (Finest) Cards revealed
-
AL Central Cards
Luis Robert Jr. - White Sox
Steven Kwan - Cleveland
Eduardo Rodriguez - Detroit
Bobby Witt Jr - Kansas City
Jhoan Duran - Minnesota -
REALLY!? Rodriguez for the Tigers? Dude costs us some capitol, was average after he came back and isn't coming back next year. Why not Torkelson, Skubal or Greene? Do these guys even watch real baseball? I'm guessing these guys that get feature cards again and again signed bigger contracts for likeness to be used and they have to keep putting them on cards.

That is not how it works.
All current players are under the same license agreement per MLBPA. Only Jazz Chisholm gets more (and definitely preferential treatment) for being the cover athlete.

NL Central Cards
Justin Steele - Chicago
Matt McLain - Cincinnati
Corbin Burnes - Milwaukee
David Bednar - Pittsburgh
Nolan Gorman - St. LouisI'll take a Gorman card but I am a little disturbed that the only Nolan Arenado card for the Cardinals that is eligible for season 5 will be his Live series card.
In defense of the choice though, Gorman led the team in HR and was 3rd in RBIs in spite of having 150 fewer at bats than Arenado and more then 180 fewer at bats than Goldschmidt.

Really happy about McClain getting the Reds finest. It was either him or Steer, and with Steer getting a 97 TN I was hoping McClain would get an upgrade!
-
I know it's not the same for everyone but I can't remember being less excited for Finest cards than I am this year. Having so many variations of cards/same player has caused most of these finest to feel "blah". Anyone else like this?
-
I want whoever decided to put in a Finest David Bednar card in over Bryan Reynolds fired and/or put in jail.
-
@Dolenz Then perhaps its a dart throw, LOL
-
I just want to see who the gave one to for Boston. That way I can decide if I'm buying the Awards Devers.

I'm preparing myself for the letdown of a Finest Chris Martin card.
-
Guess the chase pack is going to be someone else (my guess is still Acuna) Jazz Chisholm is the Marlins Finest player.

CJ Abrams - WashingtonThanks. I had not checked their twitter yet today.
-
I am pumped for Lindor
-
Geez, I hope people need shortstops. Three of them in the NL East.
-
These dudes know that Spencer Strider isn't the only guy on the Braves right?
-
Acuna will be a chase pack.

Either that or a rare round in some Finest pack.
Or, maybe even more likely, a Set 5 collection reward.They know everyone wants him which is why they won't give him away for minimal effort.

@Dolenz stinks but its good buisness
