I will update this thread every time we see a new legend in MLB the show 2020 whether it is in streams prior to launch of the game or during the game cycle!
One Callout: The Devs have not disclosed how many new legends to expect so not sure when this list will be complete.
New Legend List MLB the show 2020:
Gotta think we’re getting a mega star or two from this 90’-00’s themed era they seem to be introducing this year. I’m betting Pedro and/or Randy Johnson And I could see AROD making a big come back this year. Would be dopeeeee
@Therealest_JB said in NEW LEGENDS in 2020:
Agreed man, would literally love all three of those guys.
Where you see that were getting Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine?
@dbarmonstar said in NEW LEGENDS in 2020:
They showed it off on the Twitch Stream yesterday at 6:00 pm EST and it was also on their twitter account after the stream.

Ok, thanks I missed it. You think Maddux Signature type card will be good in this game with pitch speeds.

We will have to see when the game comes out. certain cards are just weirdly good like the Waino SS in this years game.
I think Pedro and Randy have to be definites. So we should be getting tons of new pitchers. What about hitters? Just checking the WAR leaders for the 90's and 00's had some good names that could make (should make) an appearance: Larry Walker Craig Biggio Derek Jeter Manny Ramirez Todd Helton Darin Erstad (was in last year but gone this year) Troy Glaus Tim Salmon Nomar Garciaparra Julio Franco Kirby Puckett Darren Daulton John Olerud Jim Thome Jeff Kent Marcus Giles Scott Rolen JD Drew Derrek Lee Brian Roberts Mark Teixeira Grady Sizemore Vernon Wells Alfonso Soriano Carlos Pena Magglio Ordonez Chone Figgins Not to mention other pitchers who had success in the 90's and 00's Kevin Brown Chuck Finley Mark Langston Kevin Appier Mike Mussina Jose Rijo David Cone David Wells Dontrelle Willis Tim Hudson Barry Zito Roy Halladay Curt Schilling Johan Santana Brandon Webb Pat Hentgen Mike Hampton Tim Lincecum Jake Peavy
This could be a whole new crop of AS/PS/BO/IV/R or even SS cards (if there are such things in '20).
It's kind of exciting to think about it!
With that multi-console contract money they had to have signed so many new guys. Huge cash cow if they did too. They've already released 8 and it's barely February. I'm getting more pumped everyday for 20.
Stephen and Luis did mention during yesterday's second live stream that there would be "dozens" of new legends this year, with an emphasis on players from the 1990s and 2000s, so that's really encouraging. I don't know if that means 24...36...48 new legends, but we should expect a healthy influx of new players this year.
I just need Scott Rolen in my life, I need Pujols/Edmonds/Rolen.

Hopefully that doesn’t mean at the expense of losing other legends though.

Inevitably, SDS does lose the rights to some guys. It happens every year. I can remember players like Gaylord Perry, Jack McDowell and Yogi Berra being in multiple versions of The Show, but they weren't in this year's edition. Even last year, guys like Darin Erstad, Doc Ellis and Albert Belle were in the game, but they aren't this year. I think SDS will probably lose a few ancillary legends from this year's cycle, but they tend to replace them with big names. This year, we had Willie Mays, Ivan Rodriguez, Rogers Hornsby, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, and a ton of other big-name stars enter the cycle. By teasing Rivera, Ortiz, Maddux, Smoltz and Glavine for 20, SDS could be setting up the community to not realize that some lesser-known guys might not be coming back.

Yeah I realize they can’t pay them all forever, but it would be nice if they could lmao
This is the first year they’ve actually lost anyone’s rights
If we lose Ashburn and Slaughter...I'm fine with that.
Too bad we lose GrandyMan...

Buddy Bell and Yogi Berra weren't in 18, 19 and most likely not this year too
