I doubt we see all of those cards, even if we have seen them in years past. It’s pretty obvious that there is a very, very big content drop being held back though, I could add to the list in OP if I thought about it. Based on how good the TA3 drop was and how weak the inning bosses have been this year, I’m expecting this to be either TA4 or a separate program celebrating the history of the show, given it’s an anniversary year and we’ve seen the return of some historic favourites this year. Pepe Alazar, anyone?
I think they wasted the opportunity to release all the cards we want by releasing the fake high diamonds. The Future Stars who have never stepped on a Big League diamond. It irks me that the three Henchman this inning are "Future Stars" I am an Old School baseball purest I guess and one of these Fakes will never start on my team. I have them and Prospects but it was only to get Trout. Of course this is just my opinion but I bet some of the other old timers here would agree.
I dunno, I really enjoy seeing guys get called up in real life and knowing who they are. I think they'll scale back the FS cards next year, with this being the first year of minor league licensing rights I think they went all in.
I have no problem with it and enjoy the concept, although I am at tad bit sad knowing that at this point in the year there's a lot of elite cards we may not see until very late in the game cycle.
I get Future Stars. OR Prospects. No need for both, especially with some guys getting one of each.

This is reasonable, it wouldn’t surprise me if they do this next year.
It’s worth keeping in mind they didn’t give every prospect a FS card, just the diamonds

For guy who likes legends, even though they do a great job in content, it’s frustrating for me, when there are still over 50 cards I want to see(legends and flashbacks that are in the game just haven’t been released ) , and I don’t think they’re coming. Soria in this event is a perfect example of my frustration... Why... When at least 5 big relief pitchers don’t have diamonds... I sat through two diamond Casey Mizes... The future star henchmen annoyed me to a point where I’ve lost faith in the fact that legends I want will come out before the game goes to its next cycle... It’s a catch 22, because they do a good job in content, but it’s not the content I want.

I love Edgar but I don’t think he’s ever had a 99. I think 96 is the highest he’s ever gotten because his defense is so bad.
I also don’t think Cano has ever had a 99 has he?

Bump. Edited this today, post Mays announcement. Deleted some guys that haven’t gotten a Prime/Awards/Sig but got a high diamond PS, HRD, POTM (Turner, Stanton, Cano, Bellinger, etc.) They probably won’t get to all the guys in the lowest tier at this point. Who are your guesses for the PR choice pack next season? I say Fergie Jenkins, Adley Rutchman, and Miggy.
I wonder if we will get one more choice pack (a. la. DOTP/beach ball) to dump some of these guys that were inning bosses last yr (JV, Miggy, Cy young, grove) and some of the lower, possibly non-99 legends (E Mart, E Murph, Arenado, etc). There’s also quite a few FS left to consider. Interested to see what they do.

Manny Machado Finest. Absolutely great for the padres as an leader and also on the field. Feel like he was the person they looked up too in the dug out he deserves one not just because of that but he played great

Yeah I could see that fs with Tatis already having a 99. Could also be Lamet. But I didn’t include Manny on the list because he already got a (95?) Gold Glove awards card.

I just realized today that the 11th inning might be structured a little differently since essentially everyone is going to start with 75* from locking in the one boss. I wonder if that means 11th inning isn’t going to have bosses or maybe something weird is going to happen there? Who knows.
-
I hope 11th inning isn’t the last one considering how much time we have left in the year. Didn’t they say in a stream they were doing 12?
Anyways, there’s also the future stars who still will get 99’s (or could get them) like Rutchsman, Franco, etc.

I’m thinking TA 4 is going to be a combination of finest and legends. Some of the teams just don’t have a good enough player to get a finest.

Whoa, whoa. You mean we might not see a 99 Jacob Stallings?

Some (most) teams also don’t have a 99 legend/flashback to potentially be in TA 4 either. We will find out tomorrow, but I’m still betting all finest.

They can create new flashbacks if needed. I feel like there could be more than one player card per team in TA4.

Never mind. I figured it out.
