@MathMan5072 said in March to October - fastest way?:
Here’s a copy and paste from a thread I had going at the beginning of the year where I kept track of all my MTOs. This was for the pirates and was the fastest one...
Trades: Josh Hader, Aroldis Chapman, JR Realmuto, and Andrelton Simmons. All of this were for prospects or low level MLB guys.

Total affinity: 52I don't know how you could go much faster than this. I had four player lock missions as pitchers to get no hitters, which take up a little time. And, other than the extra innings, there is only a little bit of overall time to shave here since I was getting out as fast as I could once I got the lead. Overall, it was fun and relaxing to play on Veteran. But, I don't necessarily love the idea of grinding to finish as quickly as possible, since that makes this feel like work. And, I really enjoy this mode.
See, that is why I only did MTO for the Cubs, because it takes SO LONG for little amounts of points. They should make it worth 1.5 times or 2 times that amount of points, imo.
