2025 Finest Predictions
-
Let me hear your thoughts (this list does get repetitive since a lot of these guys had All-Star cards in TA:
Yankees - Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Rays - Drew Rasmussen (Brandon Lowe a possibility)
Red Sox - Aroldis Chapman (if not then Garrett Crochet)
Blue Jays - depends on the WS but my bet is Bo Bichette or Kevin Gausman
Orioles - Trevor Rogers
Twins - Joe Ryan
Guardians - Steven Kwan or Cade Smith
White Sox - Shane Smith
Royals - Bobby Witt Jr.
Tigers - Tarik Skubal
Astros - Hunter Brown
Athletics - Jacob Wilson
Rangers - Nathan Eovaldi
Angels - Jo Adell
Mariners - Logan Gilbert
Braves - Raisel Iglesias
Nationals - James Wood
Mets - Francisco Lindor
Phillies - Trea Turner
Marlins - Otto Lopez
Cardinals - Willson Contreras
Brewers - Freddy Peralta
Cubs - Kyle Tucker
Reds - Emilio Pagan
Pirates - Dennis Santana
Dodgers - Will Smith
Diamondbacks - Corbin Carroll
Giants - Logan Webb (Matt Chapman a possibility)
Rockies - Jimmy Herget (why not)
Padres - Manny Machado -
For the collection, I think I'm going with Soto as the boss, with Skenes and Harper as the lower rewards.
-
Bellinger for the Yankees
-
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN
Bellinger might be the next Weekend Classic reward -
Contreras or Burleson would be the two most obvious choices for the Cardinals. Donovan is already a captain so we can rule him out. Herrera just got a 99
The question becomes whether they try and shoehorn in pitcher finest cards for the 5 teams who still don't have one? That would be a case of too little too late in my opinion and I don't think any of our pitchers deserved it.
-
Angels = Kenley Jansen
-
Juan Soto needs a 99 card. He was awesome for the middle to last half of the season.
-
I would be happy for Turner or Harper, haven't gotten an new card for either one of them other than the live series
-
@sbchamps17_NSW
Turner had a 96 in a Chase Pack - Harper had a 94 in the May Retro Lightning Collection. -
Shocked if Rays isn't Junior Caminero

I think a different Tiger and Phillie. If SDS rewards the award winners this year, (they have done it before) then Trea and Skubal would have Batting title and CY Young cards.

Eh, they don't do it that often.
Batting Titles
2024 Bobby Witt Jr - Finest Card
2023 Luis Arreaz - Finest card
2022 Jeff McNeil - Monthly Awards card (a 96)
2021 Trea Turner - Finest2024 Cy Young Skubal and Chris Sale got milestone cards for Triple crowns in a Dec program.
2023 Cy Young winners Cole and Snell got Finest Cards
2022 Cy Young winners Verlander and Alcantara got Finest cards
2021 Cy Yound Winner Robbie Ray got a Lightning card and Burnes got a FinestSo it is actually rare that Award winners get a card the same year they win an award.
