The Show 26 Cover Athlete Predictions
-
My guess was Cal Raleigh, Kyle Schwarber, or Nick Kurtz but now with the orange numbers.......
The only teams that orange could signify are:
Mets: Francisco Lindor,Juan Soto,or Pete Alonso but I don't think it would be Pete because he's hitting free agency this year.
Orioles: Adley Rutschman, but I think he is past his prime for the cover.
Tigers:Tarik Skubal, having him on the cover would be nice right here in the prime of his career.
Astros:Jose Altuve,Yordan Alvarez,I don't think they would do Altuve seeing as he is getting old and they like to put young flashy guys on the cover,and Yordan just isn't really their type of guy to put on the cover especially coming off of this injury ridden year.
Giants:Logan Webb, Rafael Devers,Jung Hoo Lee, I don't think they would do Webb because he's not really a superstar,for Devers I think they missed their chance and he didnt really have the best year.As for Lee he just doesn't really meet the star standards either.
Anyway what are all your thoughts? -
Either Soto or Skubal, but a Darryl Strawberry would be amazing in light of the recent news. The possibility isn’t zero because Griffey was the cover athlete on mlb 17
-
Arod just had a hbo doc, works for fox... Seems like he's made the rounds to repair his image a bit. I could see him being a big legend in the next couple of years that would warrant his own cover. He seems like he would also be more willing to do the media rounds compared to bonds.
Current player? They tend to go young and exuberant. I think Arod may create more attention than any current player that's not already been on the cover
-
I’m gonna guess Skubal is at least one of them (if they do multiple).
-
It's gonna be Ichiro, with Cal Releigh. maybe throw in a Griffey Jr or Randy. Orange is just to get us talking.
-
Im guessing Devers right now. I dont think its a Mets player because their main color is blue, not orange
-
I think it should be multiple players again.
If not, my final answer is Big Dumper, since he didn't get MVP and hit so many homers as a Catcher.
