I'm not saying that they're entirely obsolete now, but I think it's very stale how random cards give captain boosts without being in a special captain series. I know they do captains in those programs during the winter season but barely anyone's active enough for it to actually matter, and usually they're just cards SDS missed during the main content loop and want to do some justice. I miss the 23 and 24 era of captains, and think it was a very big missed opportunity. I know with mods they're kind of phased out, but I'm just not a big fan of the modding system. Granted, I barely played Diamond Dynasty at all this year, but that's just my spiel for the day. What are your thoughts.

22 was the lockout

Not entirely sure why I made this post, but anyway. This year I have approximately...less than 65 hours on the game. I used to be an avid contributor on this forum, so a lot of you might know who I am. I have around 850 on 25, over 500 in 24, and over 300 on 23. I got bored to death in May. The grind got a bit tedious and there wasn't anything new that really pushed me to keep playing. I went back on 25 and started a franchise which is all the MLB The Show I've played recently. I know they really can't change much but year after year you're grinding for the same exact cards for years in the same ways just with a different art, and it just gets boring after a while. It's like "why do I keep doing this same [censored] all the time." I don't know if it's just me. I don't know if I'm missing out because I have been on the game sporadically (and I mean VERY sporadically) since then. The market's in a better place than it was from a quick glance. Not sure if people care about the Moonshot cards but there's some big names for under 10k stubs. But there's no real pull. It's not like I don't necessarily have the time to put in the game, because if it had something to pull me in, and frankly, if it was good enough, I would make the time, like I had been, because it's fun. I think the game, at least for me, got to the point where it's just...not fun anymore. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Jacob Young extended by the Nationals

First major league signing of the year is the very boring re-signing of Jacob Webb.

Nationals claim RHP Braxton Roxby off waivers from Giants
Mariners claim CF Grant McCray off waivers from Mariners
Mets claim 2B Kyren Paris off waivers from Angels
Mets claim RHP Jack Anderson off waivers from Twins
Mariners claim RHP Isaac Mattson off waivers from Pirates
Marlins claim RHP Cameron Weston off waivers from Mets
Braves claim LHP Mitchell Parker off waivers from Nationals
White Sox claim 3B Graham Pauley off waivers from Marlins
Reds claim RHP Duncan Davitt off waivers from Giants
Reds claim RHP Paxton Schultz off waivers from Nationals
Mets claim RHP Pierson Ohl off waivers from Rockies
Rangers claim RP Jose Butto off waivers from Giants
Phillies claim 3B Brett Harris off waivers from Giants
Phillies claim 3B Shay Witcomb off waivers from Giants
Orioles claim RHP Josh White off waivers from Marlins
Orioles claim LHP Philip Abner off waivers from Mets
Cubs claim RP Eric Orze off waivers from Twins
Pirates claim LF Akil Baddoo off waivers from Brewers

Pretty self-explanatory. It'll be interesting to see who does get extended before the lockout. Player options do not count here.
Jacob Young (27) Signed 4 year, 23 million dollar extension with Nationals

The Dodgers are probably going to go the route they did with Kyle Tucker, and we saw how that went - short deal, high AAV. They're not going to offer a blank check like they did Yamamoto or Shohei Ohtani and it's basically certain they won't give him 400 million like Boras wants. The Mets on the other hand have no choice but to go all-in and they will offer a blank check, and of course Skubal would rather take that (most likely) than take less security. I don't really see the Yankees making a realistic push for him. He's "trusted his guys" since 2007.

It's year 2 of all my offseason reports on the forums. This is also the first time I've been on the forums in...what feels like forever.
Athletics acquire RF Nate Eaton from Red Sox for RHP Jareth Rayo
Tigers acquire SS Tsung-Che Cheng from Red Sox for Cash Considerations
Nationals acquire 2B Nate Furman from Giants for LHP Tony Neubeck

@StinkyMcPooter_XBL
Never. If that's true, then the Mets are lined up perfectly.

It’s that time of year again. It’ll be interesting to see how the offseason plays out given the impending lockout. This is my second entry of every free agency signing position by position.

Most home runs by a second baseman. How the [censored] is that mid?

...dude...

Been months since I've not only posted on here but just played the game in general. Have been hooked on Red Dead Redemption 2 lately and just have zero appeal to play the game. Am I missing anything?

@Christuffer9917_PSN

Great…really useful information…
