Author : Jacob Apr 12,2025

In *MLB The Show 25*, the grass might indeed seem greener elsewhere, and San Diego Studio ensures you're not rooted to one spot forever in Road to the Show mode. Here’s how you can initiate a trade to find a new team that suits your ambitions.

How to Get Traded in MLB The Show 25 Road to the Show

After wrapping up your high school career in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show, you face a crucial choice: further refine your skills at college or jump straight to the pros with your drafting team. Regardless of your decision, you can steer your career toward the big leagues with a specific team in mind, setting yourself up for success. However, the dynamic nature of professional sports means a change of scenery can sometimes be beneficial.

In earlier iterations of Road to the Show, requesting a trade to a different organization was straightforward once you reached the majors. However, *MLB The Show 25* has changed this mechanic, removing the direct option to request a trade. But don't worry, there's a clever workaround to accelerate your move to a new team.

In the Sliders section of the Road to the Show settings, you'll find an option labeled “Trade Frequency.” This setting controls how often trades occur in the mode. By moving the slider all the way to the right, you'll increase the likelihood of trades happening, including for your own character. However, patience is key; other teams need to take notice of you before they'll consider a trade.

Once your performance starts generating buzz around the league, your agent will inform you, and soon enough, trade offers will begin to come in. Take your time to evaluate your options, but remember, there's no assurance that teams will keep their interest. When you've identified a desirable destination and feel confident about the move, go ahead and finalize the trade. Once you're settled into your new team, consider sliding the Trade Frequency back down to minimize future trade requests.

And that's the way to demand a trade in *MLB The Show 25* Road to the Show. If you're looking to enhance your gameplay further, check out the best hitting settings for *MLB The Show 25*.
