I had to do a little searching and found results of the outcomes so far that listed the three players per team

Interesting, I remember seeing a Jose Reyes in a video released last Friday unless maybe I saw wrong

Under Salt Lake Bees, to the right.

Unless these guys get postseason and flashback cards, this is just a weird content drop and an even weirder choice by SDS. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of interesting, fun names, but late September is odd for some of these guys.
-
In their defense the Finals are not until tomorrow and Saturday. The last semifinal was just last Saturday so if they tier the cards based on results then I can understand why they waited.
Also looking at 2022 they ended up giving Adrian Gonzalez 3 cards for the event (95, 98, 99) so maybe they waited until the end this time to avoid that scenario again.
Also, looking at Gonzalez, he did not get a card in any other year or series so expect these to be the only cards for these players not already in the game.

PLEASE let Lo Cain be diamond D.. dude was a STUD for us in CF.

I would say this is MLB's doing, marketing for and to increase knowledge of and popularity of the tournament

Yeah, when they first introduced the HRDX cards in 2022 that was the only series those players got cards for which was fine although the multiple high 90s diamonds did seem a little redundant.
I will admit if I was a Cardinals fan like yourself, I'd be annoyed if Wainwright is only a hitter and doesn't have pitching attributes. Hopefully, they make him a two-way player so people can utilize him in his primary position. It would be like if they dropped CC Sabathia as a new Legend last year, but only giving him the Out of Position card that can only hit.
Excited to try out a bunch of these new names though for sure. I remember Swisher and Adrian Gonzalez having awesome swings and some of these players haven't been in the game for a long time.

The Royals and Nationals teams look way too serious

I expect him to be only a hitter and I was a little disappointed when I realized that but I'll take what I can get and if they give him pitching stats I will be pleasantly surprised.

Pretty sure the attributes on these cards will be hitting heavy. Just like the normal HRD cards.
And if theyre labeled as HRDX, unless they add another voucher towards John Donaldson, they'll be binder fodder.

I have no idea what people are talking about here

It'll be a voucher for the next Mega Collect.

@sbchamps17_NSW although legends is a stretch.

The definition when it comes to the game has always been the same, Legend = Any player not in the league anymore
